JANESVILLE -- Mercy Health System will purchase the Dean Clinic-Riverview property and buildings located at 580 N. Washington St., with a closing date tentatively scheduled for April 2012.

Mercy issued the following news release today:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MERCY HEALTH SYSTEM TO PURCHASE DEAN CLINIC-RIVERVIEW PROPERTY
JANESVILLE, Wisconsin―Mercy Health System will purchase the Dean Clinic-Riverview property and buildings located at 580 N. Washington Street in Janesville, Wis. The purchase closing date is tentatively scheduled for April 2012.
“An important component of our mission is to serve our communities,” said Javon R. Bea, President and CEO of Mercy Health System. “The additional space will allow us to relocate some of our offices in order to serve area residents in the most efficient, convenient and cost-effective way possible.”
"It makes good collaborative sense to turn the building and land over to Mercy, which will use this space because it is conveniently located right next to its Hospital campus," says Dean Clinic President and CEO, Dr. Craig Samitt. "We will be vacating the property in early January when the new Dean Clinic - Janesville East opens."
Mercy intends to use the building to support its mission and services that support Mercy Hospital and Trauma Center. Mercy is currently assessing specific uses for the 110,000 square foot building.
“This facility will help us fulfill some of our space needs,” said Bea. “At Mercy, we are committed to serving our patients with all our heart and with all our mind. This means we will do whatever it takes to improve our patients’ well being and quality of life.”
“The Riverview building will be a good addition to the Mercy Campus,” adds Javon Bea. “It will allow us to enhance operational efficiency by relocating various services to improve productivity and collaboration among departments while also providing added convenience.”
Plans for the building will be announced as they are finalized.
