ZEELAND — Holland Hospital and Shoreline Orthopaedics are partnering to bring additional orthopedic services to the lakeshore.

The two healthcare providers will build a new $28.9 million, 40,000-square-foot medical office building in Zeeland on Westpark Way near 84th Avenue, currently home to the Holland Hospital Medical Building.

“Holland Hospital and Shoreline Orthopaedics have had a long-term collaborative relationship for more than 40 years,” said Patti VanDort, president of Holland Hospital. “The healthcare landscape is changing. The collaboration of hospitals and independent physicians is essential to ensure high-quality clinical outcomes and patient experiences while being focused on efficiency and providing high value for orthopedic healthcare to the region.”

The new facility will include an outpatient surgery center for orthopedic surgical services, an orthopedic-focused urgent care, clinical offices for orthopedic surgeons, physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians from Shoreline Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine and “return-to-sport” rehabilitation services.

“We are pleased to partner with Holland Hospital to bring next-level, best-in-class orthopedic care to communities along the lakeshore,” said Bruce Stewart of Shoreline Orthopaedics. “West Michigan is the fastest growing area of the state. As our population ages and residents stay more physically active, the demand for outpatient orthopedic services and surgeries will continue to expand well into the future.”

Planning for the facility has begun and construction is expected to start later this year. It's slated to be operational in early 2025.

This is the second new facility announced by Holland Hospital in recent months. The hospital held a groundbreaking for a new medical building in Saugatuck on April 26. That building, a 16,940-square-foot facility, is expected to open next spring.
