This morning was the ceremonial groundbreaking for the new medical building at the Swedish Ballard campus.
Doctors, board members and Seattle City Councilwoman Sally Clark all participated in the event which kicks off the project which is expected to be completed next year. “Swedish has been helping serve the health-care needs of the Greater Ballard community for many years,” said Rayburn Lewis, M.D., executive director and medical director of Swedish/Ballard.
The first floor of the new 90,000 square foot building will be a new emergency department. A new imaging center will be on the second floor with Swedish Physicians family practice on the third floor. The top two floors will be office space for specialty physicians.
Ribbon cutting for the new facility is expected to take place next fall.
