By Carina Branson
On Thursday, Children’s Mercy celebrated a major milestone in the construction of its new clinic with a ceremonial beam-raising event in northeast Wichita.
Guests gathered near 29th and Greenwich to sign the final structural beam before it was lifted into place, leaving their mark on the new clinic.
When it is finished, it will serve more than 10,000 pediatric patients from across the region.
“We are built for kids we talk about it all the time, CM is built for kids and what that means is that every aspect of the way we build our building the way we deliver our care is designed with kids and their families in mind and that’s something we take seriously, we are devoted to taking care of kids and their families,” Dr. Amy Fallon, the president of regional operations for Children`s Mercy, said.
