Rite Aid/Broadway Property <br />Greenfield approach. Expanding on the Rite Aid property represents a <br />"Greenfield" approach. If Providence Everett must adopt a Greenfield approach, <br />the hospital has identified better site alternatives that would be quicker, easier and <br />less costly than building on the Rite Aid/Broadway property. <br />Property Acquisition. Providence doesn't own enough property at the Rite <br />Aid/Broadway site. Even if the hospital were to pursue this option, there is no <br />guarantee the hospital could eventually purchase all the property required to <br />develop a 500 -bed medical center. If Providence Everett must adopt a Greenfield <br />approach, the hospital would identify site alternatives with a minimum of 40 acres <br />of contiguous property. <br />Cost. Expanding onto the Rite Aid property would significantly increase the cost to <br />purchase several properties required to support a 500 -bed medical center. <br />Summary <br />Providence Everett Medical Center has cared for the health care needs our community <br />for 100 years. Enhancing these services in a rapidly growing Snohomish County <br />mandates that the hospital modernize and expand if it is to fulfill this mission for the <br />next 100 years. The hospital's Master Site Plan, developed over three years of careful <br />study, is the roadmap to ensuring that Providence grows in ways that are compatible <br />with the needs of patients, staff and community. <br />In an effort to cooperate with its neighbors and the City, Providence has looked at <br />various suggestions on how to grow, but it has only reaffirmed that current plans are <br />well founded and necessary. Future expansion must occur in such a manner that new <br />phases lie adjacent to existing services and infrastructure. New additions, if not <br />placed in a logical configuration will disturb service delivery patterns. It is the goal <br />of the hospital's master plan to improve, not disrupt health services. After a thorough <br />analysis, the only affordable and efficient option for expansion is on the Colby <br />Campus. <br />Project Narrative <br />Providence Everett Medical Center <br />PAGE <br />
