Detailed plans and a cost figure for the facility aren’t complete yet, but the approximately 125,000-square-foot center will have a freestanding emergency room and helicopter landing pad, extended stay patient rooms and surgical, physical therapy, cardiology, radiology, urology and other services on about 17 acres off Cox Road, according to Christ. It should open by the end of 2017.
Once open, Christ will join other new developments at the same highway exit, such as outdoor sporting goods retailer Cabela's Inc., which opened in August in West Chester Twp.; and the approximately $350 million Liberty Center retail, dining, residential and office complex in Liberty Twp., which is scheduled to open more than 1 million-square-feet off Liberty Way in October.
Christ Hospital was attracted to the Liberty Twp. location because of its easy highway access, close proximity to other retail and health care services, and the growing community where many of the system's patients already live, Victor DiPilla, vice president and chief business development officer for the system, previously told Journal-News.
