Carris Health Surgery Center

With the ever-changing approach to medicine and the restrictions/demands placed on health care systems, Carris Health evaluated the capacity of its current surgery center to the return on investment that could be reached with the construction a new surgery center. This would also increase the capacity to help those with same-day surgery needs. As same-day surgery procedures have increased, the demand to meet the needs for Willmar and the surrounding communities came to the forefront to determine the necessity for moving forward with the new surgery facility. Willmar Electric Service partnered with the General Contractor, Marcus Construction to construct the new 28,366 square foot Carris Health Surgery Center by contracting to complete the electrical installation, including the fire alarm and nurse call systems. Throughout the project, Willmar Electric utilized our previous experience with medical facilities, increased productivity by initiating new material handling and installation procedures, while staying diligently on schedule due to already scheduled surgeries.

On May 15, 2018, Carris Health Surgery Center was able to fulfill its promise of completing surgeries in their new facility, making their goal – to provide the best, most effective care so patients can return to their normal activities as quickly as possible – a continued reality.
