SANDWICH – The Spaulding Rehabilition Hospital Cape Cod in Sandwich is about to break ground on its 6,000-square-foot, two-story addition.

The addition will provide space for more outpatient services.

“We are focusing mostly on the outpatient operations where it will provide additional treatment space, both private treatment rooms for therapy services as well as additional examine rooms for physician services,” said Stephanie Nadolny, the vice president of Spaulding Cape Cod.

Nadolny says the addition will also include a multipurpose room which will expand the number of group programs that are offered.

The group programs have been limited at the hospital due to a lack of space.

The work will also improve the current building with renovation to the entire first floor including the lobby and the relocation of many departments, according to Nadolny.

The second floor will also be retooled and will provide more private treatment space without the addition of any beds.

“We need more elbow room and more office space for physicians,” Nadolny said.

The hospital is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and an expanding elderly population on the Cape was a major reason for the addition.

“Certainly the demographics are people are getting older,” Nadolny said. “The baby boomers are very much in need of our services.”

The construction is expected to last 6 to 8 months.

“We are hoping that by summer we will be able to move into the space and be able to open up the doors to even more patients than we currently serve,” Nadolny said.

Work has begun to move an electrical transformer which will allow for construction to begin.
