MultiCare Health System planning new medical office building in Spokane Valley

Tacoma-based MultiCare Health System is planning to build a new medical office building adjacent to its existing hospital in Spokane Valley.

The health care organization filed a preliminary application with Spokane Valley to build a more than 81,000-square-foot medical office building on the northwest corner of Boone Avenue and Vercler Road.

The facility would include a skywalk connecting to the second floor of MultiCare Valley Hospital, according to site plans filed with the city.

Spokane-based NAC Architecture is designing the project.

MultiCare declined to comment on specifics of the project.

MultiCare is a nonprofitwith more than 16,000 employees. The organization offers inpatient, primary, virtual, urgent care and specialty services across eight hospitals in the state.
