Working directly above an active Veterans Administration (VA) clinic, Miller Construction Company has construction underway for the Holy Cross Orthopaedic Institute at the Holy Cross HealthPlex campus on Dixie Highway in Fort Lauderdale.

Miller Healthcare Services, the program management arm of the company, helped plan the new second-floor orthopaedic facility, which will include a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) extremity scanner for diagnosing hand, arm or leg problems, along with digital x-rays and a “casting” room for treating broken bones. There will also be 32 examination rooms, 20 physician offices and support areas for nurses and staff.

Miller is adding two elevators and impact glass to the second-floor facility, which was an empty shell prior to this tenant build-out. Patients in the Holy Cross Orthopaedic Institute reception area will be able to look down into the first-floor entry through full-height glass partitions. There will be comfortable chairs and tables in the reception lobby, with a coffee area off to the side.
