A groundbreaking was held for an expansion and renovation project at Specialists Hospital Shreveport in Louisianna, a physician-owned surgical hospital that provides specialized orthopedic and spine procedures. The project will expand surgical capabilities, sterile processing and central sterile services capacity, further strengthening access to advanced spine and orthopedic care for patients across Northern Louisiana, East Texas and South Arkansas.
Hammes Partners acquired the three-story, 65,000-square-foot surgical hospital in 2023. At that time, the hospital performed an average of 6,100 surgical cases annually, but with limited space for its sterile processing department. A comprehensive evaluation of the hospital’s perioperative platform was conducted to identify opportunities for operational efficiency and future growth. Through on-site assessments, clinical workflow reviews and collaborative design sessions, clinical and operational guidance was provided on an expansion and renovation project.
The project includes the phased construction of a 7,100-square-foot podium addition and a 1,000-square-foot renovation that will expand the building’s floor plan to support:
- Expanded sterile processing services
- A new loading dock and materials management area
- Two new operating rooms
Renovations will modernize and reorganize the sterile processing department, enabling improved surgical throughput and positioning the hospital for continued volume growth.
The architect on the project is Corgan and the construction manager is Hand Construction.
