1
00:00:01,050 --> 00:00:03,216
- [Narrator] 80 second
training wing leadership,

2
00:00:03,216 --> 00:00:05,300
medical group personnel, and civilians

3
00:00:05,300 --> 00:00:07,852
came together for the 82nd Medical Groups

4
00:00:07,852 --> 00:00:10,579
Groundbreaking Ceremony
of it's new clinic.

5
00:00:10,579 --> 00:00:12,979
Medical Group leadership
and facility management

6
00:00:12,979 --> 00:00:14,271
intend for the new building to be

7
00:00:14,271 --> 00:00:17,021
more efficient in utilities and amenities,

8
00:00:17,021 --> 00:00:20,028
while keeping the same services
available for patients.

9
00:00:20,028 --> 00:00:21,207
(airplane jet)

10
00:00:21,207 --> 00:00:24,318
- It's really about just
increasing efficient use of space.

11
00:00:24,318 --> 00:00:27,988
Right now we have roughly 350,000 sqft

12
00:00:27,988 --> 00:00:31,083
that we manage up there,
most of which is not used.

13
00:00:31,083 --> 00:00:32,332
And if we do any kind of repairs

14
00:00:32,332 --> 00:00:34,613
or any kind of updates on
it it'll hike the high cost

15
00:00:34,613 --> 00:00:36,884
because of things like
abatement issues and so forth

16
00:00:36,884 --> 00:00:39,185
that cut in cause of
the age of the building.

17
00:00:39,185 --> 00:00:42,397
So moving forward for
both efficiency of that

18
00:00:42,397 --> 00:00:45,033
we'll save a lot of money in
terms of upgrades and upkeep.

19
00:00:45,033 --> 00:00:47,579
And then the biggest efficiency
we'll gain is on energy use.

20
00:00:47,579 --> 00:00:49,758
We roughly, about 500,000 dollars a year

21
00:00:49,758 --> 00:00:52,022
we expect to save in this new facility.

22
00:00:52,022 --> 00:00:53,709
- [Man] So basically we
have the primary care clinic

23
00:00:53,709 --> 00:00:56,428
itself, or family health
clinic we call it,

24
00:00:56,428 --> 00:01:00,398
and pediatrics that the general,
same clinics you see now,

25
00:01:00,398 --> 00:01:01,537
so really and then of course we have

26
00:01:01,537 --> 00:01:04,380
(mumbles) services like
radiology lab, pharmacy,

27
00:01:04,380 --> 00:01:07,343
all those things. So really
basically nothing changes.

28
00:01:07,343 --> 00:01:09,446
- [Narrator] Facility management
also said that they expect

29
00:01:09,446 --> 00:01:13,263
construction of the 178,000 sqft clinic

30
00:01:13,263 --> 00:01:16,036
to be completed in late 2020.
