EXPERTISE

Premier musculoskeletal center becomes largest regional provider of orthopaedic services

The Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky desired to become a comprehensive provider of musculoskeletal services in a once underserved area. Previously, community members had to drive as far as two hours for such care. The client’s goal of becoming a community centerpiece heightened the need for a modern, stunning facility unlike anything in the area.

Now a state-of-the-art center for healthcare excellence, the Orthopaedic Institute of Western Kentucky offers an array of services. It has an outpatient clinic, diagnostic imaging, physical therapy, rotating specialist space, and spine urgent care. Additionally, its contemporary, progressive style closely reflects the local culture and landscape.

Throughout the planning process, the institute’s owners were highly involved, and all meetings were strategic and organized. ERDMAN displayed a high level of professionalism and took our concerns seriously. No question went unanswered. Everything was extremely well communicated, with very few items unexpected or not anticipated… Most importantly, [the new facility] is a place where patients feel at home. ERDMAN created a community landmark, and patients whose lives have been improved view the building and the physicians as a true savior.
