The 74,200-square-foot facility houses an urgent care facility, expanded physical rehabilitation services, and sports medicine, pain management, and occupational medicine services.[4] The center was enlarged in 2023. The three-floor facility was expanded to accommodate growing service lines. The additional third floor houses an 18,000-square-foot space with 21 private exam rooms.[5]
