Good Samaritan Hospital broke ground today for the Suffern Medical Pavilion, a new 3-floor, state-of-the-art 75,000 square foot “Class A” medical office building on the hospital campus in Suffern, N. Y. When completed in the Fall of 2005, the building will house a variety of medical offices and diagnostic support facilities, many of which will directly support the hospital’s growing cardiac program.
The Suffern Medical Pavilion is being developed by Cambridge Healthcare Development Corp. of Dallas, Texas, who will own and manage the facility under an agreement with Bon Secours Charity Health System, parent organization of Good Samaritan Hospital. It marks the first time the hospital has hired an outside developer-owner on a building project on its main campus.
The Suffern Medical Pavilion will be connected to the hospital via an enclosed walkway and will feature ample surface parking for patients, physicians and staff.
The groundbreaking was attended by various local dignitaries, including Hon. James Giannettino, Mayor of the Village of Suffern, who remarked on the benefits that the Village and the surrounding community realize as a result of having Good Samaritan Hospital as a neighbor, and specifically the value of adding a tax paying ratable to the hospital campus.
Michael Schnieders, Executive Vice President and Administrator for Good Samaritan Hospital commented, “We are pleased to enter into this agreement with Cambridge, one of the premier developers and owners of medical office facilities in the country. The Suffern Medical Pavilion will bring many of our physicians – including a significant number of cardiologists who support our growing cardiac services specialty – much closer to the hospital, which will benefit our patients and help the hospital in achieving its mission.”
Sister Mary Anne Rattigan, a member of the Board of the Directors of Good Samaritan Hospital and representative of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, blessed the site. The Sisters of Charity and Sisters of Bon Secours are co-sponsors of Good Samaritan Hospital.
Tenants in the Suffern Medical Pavilion medical office building will include cardiologists, surgeons, internal medicine physicians, and other specialists according to Cambridge.

C., the Suffern Medical Pavilion will combine the finest building materials and craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technological features. The buildingÂ’s exterior will consist of a combination of brick and precast concrete with reflective insulated glass.
