St. John’s Clinic on Friday finalized plans for a three-story clinic facility in Rolla to serve patients in the Phelps, Pulaski, Dent, Crawford, Maries and Texas county region. Groundbreaking is scheduled for December.
The 108,000 square-foot building will be on a 25-acre tract of land off Martin Springs Drive, just east of Zeno’s Motel and Steakhouse.
According to Dr. Randall Huss, president of St. John’s Clinic Rolla division, the site offers close proximity to Interstate 44 and to Phelps County Regional Medical Center, where many St. John’s Clinic physicians have privileges. The location on Rolla’s west side in conjunction with proposed development of a Rolla fifth I-44 exchange will offer significant stimulus to this project and the expected commercial development, he said.
