“They have methodically planned events by sequence, trade, access to building sections, and so far, it has worked out rather well,” Herold told the Journal-News.

“Work continues to flow as they complete one section and move to another, and successive floors,” Herold said.
Approximately 70 people are working on-site on the medical center, which remains on track for a winter 2017-2018 opening, she said.
“It is our mission to improve the health of the community and to create patient value by providing exceptional outcomes, affordable care and the finest experiences,” Herold said. “We’re looking forward to extending our reach and transforming the way care is delivered in the fast-growing community of Liberty Twp.”
Everything has run smoothly during construction at the site with no challenges presenting themselves, she said.
“(We’re) very impressed with the team of professionals on the project including design and mechanical firms, the construction team as they have dealt with situations on a timely basis with no delays in schedule or performance,” Herold said.
