ORA Orthopedics last week relocated its Bettendorf, Iowa, orthopedic clinic and outpatient surgery center to a new $50 million facility in the same town. ORA’s medical, outpatient surgery and physical therapy facilities have migrated to a 113,000-square-foot clinic, surgery center and administrative headquarters next to the town’s TBK Bank Sports Complex.
“This orthopedic campus demonstrates our commitment to support the Quad City region with a comprehensive approach to support active lifestyles,” said ORA CEO Ken Brockman.
The ASC features 10 ORs and two procedure rooms, consuming 51,000 square feet of the building, which devotes an additional 14,000 square feet to a physical and occupational therapy space with an aquatic therapy pool. Also on site are an advanced imaging suite with MRI, CT and digital X-ray, clinical offices for surgeons, administrative offices and a specialized ortho-focused walk-in, Urgent OrthoCARE.
“As leaders in sports medicine, our new location will also provide synergy with TBK’s expansion of its Bettendorf Complex in golf and other sports facilities,” said Edward Connolly, MD, ORA orthopedic surgeon and practice President. “This next-level, best-in-class orthopedic campus will allow us to better serve our team, recreational, and professional athletes … Orthopedic medicine continues to advance in technology and treatment, and we will ensure our community has access to the most advanced orthopedic care available. More than ever before, new treatments, outpatient surgery, minimally invasive surgical techniques, regenerative therapies, and comprehensive physical and occupational therapy work together to help patients of all ages return to the activities they enjoy.”
Although ORA’s existing Bettendorf ASC and clinic have closed upon the opening of the new facility, its clinics in the Iowa towns of Silvis, Davenport, Moline, Geneseo, Dewitt, Muscatine and Clinton remain.
Mr. Brockman told Quad Cities Business Journal (QCBJ) that opening day went “very well, and the move has been smooth for both our patients and our team. This new Bettendorf campus represents a major step forward in how orthopedic care is delivered in the Quad Cities — bringing clinic services, outpatient surgery, physical therapy, and advanced imaging together in one modern, connected facility.”
He told QCBJ that the campus’s coordinated care design will enable ORA to reduce delays, streamline the patient experience, and support faster recoveries. “Patients can be evaluated, receive imaging, begin therapy, and – when needed – get scheduled for outpatient surgical care with a team that works together in one place,” he told the outlet. “That connected model improves both efficiency and outcomes.”
