Bon Secours Health System and Alliance Medical collaborate to create Clinical Service Hub
Limerick Hurlers, Declan Hannon and Darragh O’Donovan today turned the sod at Kirkland Investments’ latest project, a new Medical Services Building in Towlerton, Ballysimon, Co. Limerick.
This new building will become a five-story Clinical Service Hub leased by Bon Secours Health System Ireland and Alliance Medical Diagnostic Imaging Ltd. The building is adjacent to our new Bon Secours Hospital Limerick, currently under construction, which is opening in early 2025 and will form part of the overall service offering for the region.
The ground floor will contain outpatient radiology services provided by Bon Secours Diagnostic Imaging, a joint venture between Bon Secours Health System and Alliance Medical Diagnostic Imaging. This comprehensive radiology service will include MRI, CT, X-ray, Dexa, Ultrasound and, for the first time in the region, PET CT scanning. PET scans are used in the diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. The most common use is in the detection of cancer and the evaluation of cancer treatment, with more recent applications in the area of Neuroimaging and the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease.
The remaining floors will contain outpatient Clinical Measurement Diagnostics in the areas of Cardiology, Vascular and Neurology and Consultant Consulting Rooms associated with the new Bon Secours Limerick Hospital.
Bill Maher, Group CEO, and Sarah O'Sullivan, Limerick Hospital CEO, were on hand to help turn the sod with the Limerick Hurlers, along with Robert Butler, Rudi Butler and Alex Walsh from Kirkland Investments and Eimear O' Donnell and Malcolm Banks from Alliance Medical Diagnostic Imaging Ltd.
Speaking at the event, Sarah O'Sullivan, CEO of Bon Secours Hospital Limerick, said, “We are delighted that construction has now commenced on what will become our new Clinical Service Hub for Bon Secours Hospital Limerick. We are excited to be partnering with Alliance Medical on this new joint venture. This new building will enable us to offer state-of-the-art diagnostics to our outpatients in a location that is adjacent, but separate, to our main hospital, improving ease of access for patients. Cardiology services will form a strong component of the new hospital, and the combination of this hub and the state-of-the-art services available within the new hospital will provide the full Cardiology patient experience.”
The building is scheduled for completion in Q1 2025.
