The GBMC joint venture ownership structure enabled New England Baptist and Shields to construct the building to fulfill their vision of creating a musculoskeletal and imaging center in a community setting, with flexibility to sell the building in the future. The facility was built just three years ago, opening in 2013 and is 100% leased. It is a musculoskeletal outpatient center, with a focus on sports medicine and orthopedic surgery, offering outpatient surgical, pain management, rehabilitative services, and advanced imaging.
