Meeker Memorial Hospital & Clinics is looking to expand to meet the growing healthcare needs of our community. Our current facilities—some over 70 years old— are outdated and will no longer support new technologies. This project will improve efficiencies, the patient experience, and growth for generations to come.
What’s Being Proposed
- Multi-story addition greater than 70,000 sq. ft.
- Interior updates to the existing 2009 building
- Combined East & West Clinics
- Expanded rehab, upgrades to lab, infusion/chemotherapy, and ED safety
- Reduced redundancy in admitting, lab, and imaging
- New main entrance on Sibley Avenue
- Lockerbie Street closure (city approved)
- Relocation of MMHC-owned homes on Lockerbie
Why It Matters
- Current facilities fall short of modern standards
- Renovating would cost more than rebuilding
- New design improves safety, technology, and patient experience
- Supports staff recruitment and federal compliance
Timeline Highlights
- Jan-July 2025: New plan finalized, traffic study completed, city approvals
- Fall 2025: Anticipated Hospital Board & County approvals
- Winter 2025: Anticipated start of project inside of 2009 building
- Spring 2026: Anticipated Groundbreaking
Community Forums
- October 22nd at Meeker Memorial Hospital’s Conference Center, from 5:30 PM – 7 PM.
