New York City-based Hospital for Special Surgery opened its Kellen Tower, completing a larger Upper East Side campus expansion, according to a March 31 news release.
The 12-story facility is 94,000 square feet and sits next to HSS’ main hospital. It also connects to the HSS Pavilion, further integrating inpatient, outpatient and recovery services.
Kellen Tower will provide a specialized environment for spine and joint replacement patients, including complex cases. Along with more physician office space and exam rooms, the facility includes onsite imaging and increases the number of single-bed rooms. It also has three flors of private rooms for patient care.
“Demand for complex musculoskeletal care continues to grow, and many of the patients who come to HSS require expertise and resources that are not widely available elsewhere,” HSS President and CEO Bryan Kelly, MD, said in the release. “Kellen Tower allows us to expand access to that specialized care while maintaining the focused environment and standards of excellence that define HSS.”
Kellen Tower was made possible through early philanthropic contributions exceeding $195 million.
