St. John's building new $12 million facility on Jefferson

St. John's Riverview Hospital in Detroit announced last week that it was beginning construction on the newest addition to its Jefferson Avenue location: a 62,300-square-foot medical office building.

First announced in November 2004, the new space will house both primary-care and specialty physicians, as well as a pharmacy and a physical rehabilitation department. The new medical building is set to be completed in May 2006.

St. John's operates 8 hospitals in southeast Michigan, and began its relationship with Detroit in 1844.
