Stevens Construction begins Premier Women's Care of Southwest Florida

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - Oct. 31, 2024 - PRLog -- Stevens Construction has started construction of Premier Women's Care of Southwest Florida's new 40,797-square-foot medical office building at 1606 Santa Barbara Blvd. in Cape Coral, announced Daniel Adams, Stevens Construction executive vice president.

With the opening of the new building in fall 2025, Premier Women's Care of Southwest Florida physicians, certified nurse midwives and physician assistants will be expanding and enhancing their practice in Cape Coral, which offers comprehensive gynecological and obstetrical care, including well-woman exams, family planning, adolescent gynecology, gynecologic surgery, minimally invasive surgery, prenatal and postpartum care. Urogynecology and in-office procedures will be expanded. The new office will also have a dedicated area for fetal monitoring.

"We are most excited about what this new facility will offer our patients in Cape Coral," said Dr. Shannon O'Hara. "We will have space for more medical care providers and therefore more available appointments – including same-day appointments."

Dr. Anita Del Bianco said patients will enjoy a modernized building with plenty of parking. "The whole patient experience will be optimized with comfortable, spacious waiting areas, exam rooms and procedure rooms," she said.

Situated on 2.27 acres, the first floor of the new office building will feature three ultrasound suites, 3D mammography with changing rooms, offices, an elevator and covered parking. In addition, 3,000 square feet of office space is available for lease. The second floor will house 37 exam rooms, three procedure rooms, phlebotomy, consultation rooms, offices, storage and a breakroom.

"Last month we received the Community Choice Award for the Best in Women's Health, and it is thanks to that kind of loyalty and appreciation from our wonderful patients that we have grown as a practice and can in turn invest in improved facilities and expanded services to be better than ever," said Dr. Sarah DiGiorgi. "We are continuing to work toward adding new services for the benefit of our patients and will have further announcements about those in the coming months. The great thing is that in this new building we can continue to grow along with Cape Coral in the future."

Stevens Construction identified $500,000 in cost-saving opportunities by working with the design team and client during preconstruction.
