New Grossmont Hospital Center Moves Dirt

SAN DIEGO-McCarthy Building Cos. Inc. has begun construction of the new 74,000-square-foot Heart and Vascular Center at Grossmont Hospital, located at 5555 Grossmont Center Dr. in La Mesa, CA. McCarthy was retained by the Grossmont Healthcare District with CEO Barry Jantz and the publicly elected GHD board members providing oversight. Sharp HealthCare is the operator of Grossmont Hospital through a 30-year lease that was executed with the District in 1991.

Proposition G, a $247-million bond measure approved by voters of the East County region in June 2006, is funding the project, budgeted at $26.32 million in construction costs. As proposed in the hospital’s Facilities Master Site Plan, Prop. G is funding several other infrastructure construction improvements at the publicly owned hospital, which opened in 1955.
