The Hailey Planning and Zoning Commission approved a design Monday night for a two-story, 30,000-square-foot medical facility to be built on Airport Way in Hailey. The new facility, known as the St. Luke's Clinic, will eventually house the Wood River Family Medicine medical clinic and St. Luke's Center for Community Health, currently located at two separate sites on Main Street in Hailey.
The proposed building will also house an office of St. Luke's Idaho Elks Rehabilitation Services, physicians' offices and conference rooms when it is completed in spring 2010. Estimated cost of the facility is $11,400,000. It will be built on two acres of property purchased earlier this year by St. Luke's Wood River Medical Center in the light-industrial area of Hailey just west of the Friedman Memorial Airport parking lot between Airport Way and Airport Circle. Ground-breaking on the new facility is expected to occur this summer.
Tanya Keim, director of community relations for the project, said St. Luke's is exploring the community's needs for urgent care at the facility.
