Florida Hospital North Pinellas Turns Motel into Medical Arts Building
(PRWEB) September 29, 2017 -- A North Pinellas motel is about to come crashing down – and in its place will be a Medical Arts Building for Florida Hospital North Pinellas that will house multiple specialties and physicians to satisfy more health care needs for residents in the area.
It’s an investment of health and wellness in the community and this week Florida Hospital hosted a “Demo Day” party with children from three after school programs – Boys & Girls Club, Citizen’s Alliance for Progress and the Tarpon Springs Recreation Department – so they could be part of that investment.
The group came out Wednesday to graffiti the old motel walls, then staff from the Leepa-Rattner Museum of Art at St. Petersburg College helped the kids create a canvas that will, quite literally, leave their handprint on the future Medical Arts Building.
Work on the $10 million dollar building will begin after the renovation and expansion of the hospital Emergency Department. The demolished motel site will serve as a staging area in the meantime for that project.
Demolition is Monday.
