On Tuesday, March 10th, the Melbourne Regional Medical Center celebrated the commencement of the new 38,000 square-foot Surgical Suite expansion. The single-story facility will consist of a 3,000 square-foot renovation and an additional 35,000 square-foot extension to the existing medical center. Serving as the General Contractor, RUSH Construction will work closely with the Medical Center to assure minimal disruption of the daily operations and consideration of the patients, staff, and public. Once complete, the cutting-edge surgical suites will provide 25-50% larger operating rooms allowing advanced equipment to assist surgeons and staff during procedures, a centralized sterilization department, and a newly designed post-operative area.
