Although Americans spent nearly $13 billion for medical services during 2000, convenient healthcare access still remains a problem for many. Advocate Health Care -- one of the nation's leading integrated delivery systems -- recognized fast-growing Oswego's critical need for a state-of-the-art primary-care facility to bring the full range of complementary healthcare services closer to its citizens.
Dreyer Medical Clinic's -- Advocate's for-profit medical group -- strategic objective is to make quality health care convenient and accessible in the communities it serves. Dreyer chose Alter+Care to develop a 25,000 SF medical office building on a turnkey design/build basis to make this level of care more accessible to Oswego residents. Alter+Care supervised the process from start to finish, helped locate an appropriate site, and selected an architect who designed the facility in accordance with clear-cut community architectural covenants. Alter Construction Group was the design/builder and completed Dreyer's Oswego primary-care facility on time and within budget. The state-of-the-art brick veneer over steel frame building replaces Dreyer's existing Oswego facility, which it acquired in 1984.
Dreyer, established during the 1920s, is significantly increasing its presence throughout the rapidly expanding Fox Valley base of operations. The overriding goal is to position community-based physician practice groups and stand-alone urgent-care medical services close to where people live and work.
