/in /by

The city issued a permit July 11 for Fickling Construction Inc. of Jacksonville to renovate space at Mayo Clinic in Florida to relocate its transplant team offices at a project cost of almost $5.7 million.

The permit is for about 26,000 square feet of space on the fourth floor of the Davis Building at the Mayo campus at 4500 San Pablo Road S.

Plans indicate existing outpatient exams room will be renovated and the existing office layouts will be reconfigured to accommodate the relocation of Mayo’s transplant team. HKS Architects Inc. of Orlando is the architect.

“July 12 work is underway,” said Mayo Communications Manager Kevin Punsky. “Mayo anticipates completion late this year for a first-quarter 2024 opening. The entire solid organ transplant team will be relocated to this new area from where they are now on Mayo 3rd floor, The team is moving to free up and expand hospital space.”

The scope includes a new door opening connecting the Davis Building and Mayo Clinic Hospital.

“The transplant team performs different types of transplants, from the straightforward, though serious, kidney transplant, to the most complex, multiorgan transplants accompanied by rare disorders,” says Mayoclinic.org.

The site says that more than 150 surgeons and physicians and hundreds of allied health staff, specifically trained to care for transplant patients, perform more than 2,000 solid organ and bone marrow transplants every year in Mayo Clinics in Arizona, Florida and Minnesota.

“Mayo Clinic has preeminent adult and pediatric transplant programs, offering heart, liver, kidney, pancreas, lung, hand, face, and blood and bone marrow transplant services, the site says. “Mayo doctors performed their first clinical transplant in 1963.”

Economic Impact Study Reports Nashville Health Care As A $68 Billion Industry

/in , /by

Music City remains Health Care City, an industry that has grown by more than $1 billion in just three years.

Nashville health care is now a $67.91 billion industry annually, according to an economic impact study released today by the Nashville Health Care Council in partnership with the Business and Economic Research Center at Middle Tennessee State University.

The report found that the health care industry remains the city’s No. 1 employer, with one in every 12 occupations in Nashville being in the health care sector. In 2022, the health care sector was responsible for nearly 332,305 jobs.

Though the local health care industry has continued an upward trend since the pandemic, workforce shortages have continued to be the industry’s biggest challenge.

Despite these challenges, the Nashville health care industry is outperforming many of its peer cities. According to the study, Nashville ranks second among a group of 13 peercities in terms of the number of major health care companies, their revenues and their employment. Dallas comes in at No. 1.

The number of member companies on the council is up 13.92% since 2019, according to the study. The industry’s growth can also be seen through many recently announced multimillion dollar projects, such as Maury Regional Health’s expansion project and Tennessee Oncology’s new medical office building.
