Yale-New Haven (Conn.) Hospital is planning an urgent care center that will be run by its affiliate physician group Northeast Medical Group, according to a Post-Chronicle report.
The hospital acquired a facility known as the AT&T building to house the urgent care center, ancillary services such as MRI and other imaging services, a satellite for Smilow Cancer Hospital and 250 IT employees. The new facility will help Yale-New Haven Hospital expand capacity, according to the report.
The hospital originally planned to build a satellite emergency department in the building, but suggestions that the state Office of Health Care Access might reject the plan spurred the hospital to rework the project with the support of town officials, according to the report.
The urgent care center is expected to open by Jan. 1, 2013.
