In front of more than 200 invited guests, Marshall president and CEO Siri Nelson officially cut the opening ribbon on the Marshall El Dorado Hills facility on Wednesday, Aug. 13, ushering in a new era of healthcare in the community. Specifically designed to meet the needs of the area’s active residents, the new facility will open to patients on Aug. 25.
“We did it! I am grateful to everyone who has been on this journey with us,” said Nelson of the occasion. “This facility will be the premiere provider in the treatment of orthopedic and sports injuries for residents of all ages in El Dorado Hills. Our unique walk-in care clinic — the only one in the county for these services — is not only more convenient but also less costly than going to the emergency room. We’ve paired those services with complimentary programs like cardiology, family medicine, same-day primary care, podiatry, diagnostic imaging, and laboratory services – so whatever it is that this community needs, we’ve got you and your family covered.”
The facility, formerly the Blue Cross building, was completely redesigned and rebuilt from the walls in to prioritize the patient experience. Marshall’s El Dorado Hills Community Task Force, a committee comprised of area residents and leaders, had a voice in every aspect of the project — from the needs of area residents and the services to be provided, to the design of the building and patient flow. Even the artwork on the walls was selected in consultation with the El Dorado Hills Arts Association to ensure that the space reflects the surrounding community.
“Every component of this building was built by the voices of this community, and we’re so thankful for that,” noted Jon Haugaard, chair of Marshall’s Board of Directors. “It’s no secret we’ve got a lot of big names just down the hill, but no one knows this community better than Marshall — which means no one can take care of its residents the way Marshall can. We’ve earned that trust over nearly 70 years. We value it dearly. When the community speaks, we answer the call.”
The 25,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility is home to 29 universal exam rooms, three advanced procedure rooms, diagnostic imaging, laboratory services and a spacious 3,500-square-foot physical therapy and rehabilitation space. With same-day appointments and walk-in care as well as extended hours, Marshall’s goal is to provide comprehensive, convenient care under one roof.
The Marshall Foundation for Community Health provided $1 million in funding to make the new facility possible and secured a charitable gift from Robert and Star Pepper to complete the $375,000 in funding necessary to purchase the first ZeroG 3D system west of Salt Lake City.
Set to be installed later this year, ZeroG 3D is a robotic body-weight support system which will significantly enhance Marshall’s already highly rated physical therapy and rehabilitation program.
