A new Wesley emergency room will soon be built in Andover.
The $14 million facility is planned for 126 West Cloud Avenue, just west of Andover Road on US 54. It will have 12 beds.
Lee Mangus, community development director for Andover, said the site’s location will make it easier for people coming from out of town to access an emergency room.
“It’s always good to have excess staff in the facilities,” Mangus said. “I know that Kansas Medical Center sometimes gets overwhelmed with emergency rooms, and this location is closer to the south side of our city.”
The emergency room location was first proposed in June 2023. The site’s groundbreaking is scheduled for Wednesday, June 5.
The emergency room is located across from the Flint Hills Medical Clinic and west of an Auto Zone, Spangles and Flint Hills Wine & Spirits.
