MVSC was recently approved by the Iowa Department of Public Health, State Health Facilities Council to proceed with an $8 million dollar modernization project at their Dexter Court (Davenport) location. MVSC opened its doors in 1996 and has served more than 175,000 patients over the last 21 years. As part of its long-term strategic plan, the group’s board of directors identified the need for a facility re-design and modernization in order to serve even more patients over the next 20 years. 

Currently, MVSC is only able to accommodate six overnight patients per day, which are typically comprised of ENT, orthopedics, spine, general surgery and plastics patients. The modernization project will increase the number of overnight rooms to 14. 

In addition, the modernization will ensure patient comfort and privacy by allowing each patient their own private room designed specifically for those undergoing outpatient surgery. As the demand for outpatient surgery increases and as the technology improves allowing for more complex procedures to be performed in an outpatient setting, the physician leaders at MVSC recognized the need for state-of-the-art facilities to ensure the facility is meeting its mission of excellence in care and service.

Doctors, nurses and support staff have been instrumental in the design and development of the updated facility plan. MVSC recognizes when doctors and nurses are integral to the development of facility design, the resulting product will meet or exceed their patient’s expectations. The additional square footage combined with patient flow enhancements will ensure MVSC will meet its vision of being the “Innovative Leader in Outpatient Care.”

MVSC has selected Bush Construction as the general contractor and BLDD as the architect firm. The modernization project is expected to take approximately 18 months and be completed in the fall of 2018.
