The SimmonsCooper Cancer
Institute at SIU School of Medicine
The four-level, 60,000 sq. ft. Southern Illinois School of Medicine Cancer Institute planned to open in 2007, will sit between Carpenter, Rutledge and Miller Streets in the Mid-Illinois Medical District. SIU's goal is to create a nationally recognized center for cutting-edge cancer research and treatments, and also a resource for residents of downstate Illinois. At least 40 to 50 new jobs will be created to help staff the institute - everyone from doctors to researchers and nurses, medical technicians, laboratory assistants and secretaries.
The Prairie Diagnostic Center
The Prairie Diagnostic Center, a $14.6 million outpatient center focusing on diagnosis of heart disease, will be built on the north side of Carpenter Street within the Medical District. The two-story, 27,800 square foot project is a for-profit partnership between a Springfield-based group of cardiologists and the city's two hospitals. Prairie Diagnostic plans to begin construction in June 2005 so the building can be finished in early 2006.
Springfield Clinic First
Memorial Medical Center's $27 million office building across the street from its main complex gives Springfield Clinic doctors the ability to provide more efficient and convenient medical care. The four-story building provides office space for 60 doctors - including neurosurgeons, general surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, urologists and obstetricians/gynecologists - who do a lot of their work in hospitals.
