RE: LARKIN GENERAL HOSPITAL
Dear Ms. Wheeler :
The City has recently requested us to formally reiterate our
plans for growth. As you are aware we have completed the
purchase of the block bounded by S. W. 61st and 62nd Avenues and
S. W. 69th and 70th Streets. That land is available to service
future expansion needs. Depending - upon the needs of the
community and staff, and for providing changing trends in health
care, we anticipate that additional storage, service, office
space and diagnostic facilities will be needed - some of
which will require new construction on the vacant portion of our
property.
The Larkin Building located at ( 29 S. W.�70th St eethas been
61
engineered to permit the addition of a third`story.-
It remains the goal of Larkin General Hospital to provide the
highest quality of care to meet the needs of our community. With
that in mind the hospital remains alert to the possibilities of
rendering additional services that would be of benefit to the
residents of South Miami, some of which will require additional
facilities.
In the future, as census increases, additional beds, will be
needed. It is likely that those beds can be added within the
existing hospital building. The modernization project currently
underway at Larkin Hospital's main building should be completed
this summer.
We sincerely appreciate the continued support and cooperation the
city has given us through the years. We hope we can continue to
reciprocate.
Sincerely yours,
AMES M. FLEETW , JR.
