Construction could begin roughly one year from now on a series of modern medical facilities in central and south Colorado that will belong to the big managed care consortium Kaiser Permanente.
The Oakland, California-based company, which operates around 40 hospitals and some 700 medical offices across the country, plans to build a one-story, 22,500-square foot medical office at the intersection of Hess Road and Parker Road in the town of Parker, 25 miles to the southeast of Denver.
The new Parker facility will include office space, exam rooms, and clinics, among other features.
A second project is slated for the city of Pueblo. As planned, a new one-story Kaiser Permanente structure will measure around 15,0000-square feet, and is slated to go up on space already owned by the company at 3670 Parker Boulevard.
The new Pueblo facility will house primary care space, a pharmacy, laboratory, and imaging services.
Additional upcoming Kaiser Permanente projects in Colorado include renovations to existing medical offices in Boulder, Lafayette, Lakewood, Lone Tree, and Westminster.
In a statement, Mike Ramseier, president of Kaiser Permanente Colorado, noted that the company has been “laser-focused on providing the best health care, access, and affordability, and it’s paying off.”
Altogether, it is expected that the company will spend around $100 million on new and upgraded facility projects in Colorado in the next several years.
Kaiser Permanente Colorado is the largest healthcare provider in the Centennial State, with around 540,000 members.
