Morton Plant Mease to expand Bardmoor Center
LARGO – To meet the growing health care needs of communities within central Pinellas County, Morton Plant Mease Health Care will expand its Bardmoor Outpatient and Surgery Center.

Approximately 2,500 people enter the center every day for their health care and wellness needs. Construction is under way on a new three-story, 75,000-square-foot medical office building. An air-conditioned corridor will connect the new structure to the current Bardmoor building, which covers more than 120,000 square feet. The new space will provide expanded cardiology services, an expanded sleep disorders center, additional specialty and primary care physician offices and community education and meeting space.

In addition to the new medical office building, the project includes the redesign and renovation of approximately 20,000 square feet of current office space within Bardmoor that will bring new physicians to the campus for primary and specialty care. The cost for renovation and new construction is projected to be approximately $13 million. Construction of the new office building is expected to be complete by fall, 2007. Renovation of the current building is expected to continue into 2008.

The center, at 8787 Bryan Dairy Road, opened in 1998 providing services for radiology, laboratory, surgery and endoscopy, rehabilitation, and centers for hernia, sleep disorders and massage therapy.
