Athens Regional Health System, parent company of Athens Regional Medical Center, will be the tenant in the first building in the complex.
A North Carolina real estate development company that specializes in medical office projects is putting together plans for what it is calling a health park on 14 acres at the corner of Jennings Mill Road and Virgil Langford Road.
Athens Regional Health System, parent company of Athens Regional Medical Center, will be the tenant in the first building in the proposed seven-building complex, according to architectural plans submitted to the Oconee County Planning Department.
The county issued a permit for the foundation of that building on Aug. 26, and construction is underway at the site.
That Athens Regional building will include an urgent care center, outpatient laboratory services, outpatient rehabilitation, a sleep laboratory, a mind-body institute, a breast health center, and offices for physicians, according to a press release issued late last month.
It also will include a retail pharmacy and a café.
