Wilson Memorial’s proposed 48,000 sq. ft. medical office building will pay homage to an inspiring figure who led WMH for over 40 years, Mr. Thomas J. Boecker.
Today, Wilson Memorial held a groundbreaking ceremony on the hospital campus and the formal announcement was made by the hospital’s chairman of the board, Ken Monnier. “Today we celebrate growth at Wilson Memorial. Mr. Boecker inspired tremendous growth throughout his tenure at Wilson Memorial so it is only fitting to honor his legacy by naming the new medical building after him.”
The new building will be named the Thomas Boecker Professional Building and will be the future home of Wilson Care physician practices currently located in Sidney.
Wilson Care is a multi-specialty physician group consisting of over 30 providers with offices located throughout Shelby County. The Wilson Care practices in Sidney specialize in family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, Ob/Gyn, ENT and endocrinology and are located both on and off campus in independent offices. The goal of the new medical building is to bring these practices all under one roof.
“We are pleased to be part of the economic growth in Sidney and Shelby County,” said Mark Dooley, president and CEO, Wilson Memorial. “The Thomas Boecker Professional Building expansion project is just one more way that we are continuing to meet our community’s health needs, close to home.”
Today’s groundbreaking marked the beginning of the two year construction project set to be complete in 2016. Wilson Memorial has contracted with the Dayton-based App Architecture firm on the design of the building and Ferguson Construction Company will be the assigned contractor.
