KANAB, UT – Kane County Hospital is excited to announce the official groundbreaking for the new Outpatient Services Building (OSB), marking a significant step in expanding healthcare services to the community. The new facility will be located adjacent to the existing hospital on property to the south.

The 36,800-square-foot facility will provide state-of-the-art care for patients across southern Utah and the surrounding region. Designed to meet the growing demand for outpatient services, the OSB will offer specialized care in surgery, physical therapy, dialysis, chemotherapy, and more.

  • Clinical Services: 13,000 square feet dedicated to IV therapy, dialysis, chemotherapy, and other clinical care.

  • Administrative and Support Services: 10,000 square feet for hospital administration and building support.

  • Future Expansion: A 5,000-square-foot shell space on the third floor, designed for future program expansion as the community's healthcare needs evolve.

“This new Outpatient Services Building is a vital investment in our community’s healthcare infrastructure,” said Kurt Loveless, CEO of Kane County Hospital. “It will not only help us meet the increasing demand for outpatient services but also provide the flexibility to expand as the needs of our patients continue to grow. We are proud to break ground on this important project and look forward to its completion.”
