Hospital for Special Surgery Signs Deal at 35 Hudson Yards
The center will feature physician offices, diagnostic imaging and physical therapy services and is scheduled to open in 2019.
NEW YORK CITY—The Hospital for Special Surgery has signed a lease for approximately 15,000 square feet at 35 Hudson Yards for a new outpatient center.
HSS officials state the new center will be dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment and management of musculoskeletal conditions. The center will feature physician offices, diagnostic imaging and physical therapy services and is scheduled to open in 2019.
The Hospital for Special Surgery will join the Equinox Fitness Club and an Equinox Hotel at the new 1.1-million-square-foot mixed-use building owned by Related and Oxford Properties.
“We are expanding the HSS system as part of a broader strategy to bring world class care closer to where quality-minded consumers live and work,” says Louis A. Shapiro, CEO and president of HSS. “The Hudson Yards location will also enable us to help more large employers to control the large and rising costs of musculoskeletal conditions.”
Shapiro adds that musculoskeletal conditions account for more than 16% of total employer healthcare costs, with up to five times that amount being paid out in ‘”ndirect costs” such as lost time at work. He says, “by providing more reliable prevention, diagnosis and treatment to employees, we help companies perform better and more efficiently.”
HSS has a main campus in New York City and facilities in New Jersey, Connecticut and in the Long Island and Westchester County regions of New York State.
In 2017 HSS provided care to 135,000 patients and performed more than 32,000 surgical procedures. In addition to patient care, The HSS Research Institute comprises 20 laboratories and 300 staff members focused on leading the advancement of musculoskeletal health through prevention of degeneration, tissue repair and tissue regeneration.
