TOWN OF WALLKILL – Orange Regional
Medical Center has begun construction on a new 153,000 square foot, five-story
medical office building and a 26,000 square foot, single-story cancer
center at the hospital’s main campus in the Town of Wallkill.
When completed in the fall 2016, the $99 million project will help relocate
many outpatient services currently provided at other off-campus locations
into new, state-of-the art buildings on the existing 73-acre hospital
campus.
The hospital has closed on $70 million in tax-exempt bonds issued by the
Dormitory Authority of the State of New York, which are necessary to fund
the project. The remaining funds will be secured through an equity contribution
from the hospital, outstanding 2008 bond proceeds from the construction
of the new hospital and a capital fundraising campaign.
ORMC selected Skanska USA as the construction management firm for the
project.

The medical office building will house advanced diagnostic medical technology,
a women’s breast center, four outpatient operating rooms, endoscopy
services, five procedure rooms, a primary care office, urgent care, cardiac
rehabilitation, a diabetes care center, cardiac rehabilitation, outpatient
lab services, medical school classrooms, pre-surgical testing, a retail
pharmacy, a bistro, and a community resource center. The top three flours
will be occupied by Orange Regional Medical Group primary care and specialty
physicians.
The cancer center will combine existing outpatient cancer therapy services
and infusion therapy, along with oncology exam rooms and associated nursing
and care provider stations.
“We are very proud to be able to expand on the great success of
our new hospital and create a one stop destination with inpatient, outpatient,
diagnostic and physician services all in one fully integrated, convenient
location,” said hospital President Scott Batulis.
