In a quick interview with Vannoy Construction Project Superintendent Pat Hannan, we learn about the progress of the new Mauzy-Phillips Medical Center on the campus of Blue Ridge Regional Hospital. The new medical office building will house offices for rotating specialists, diagnositics and primary care physicians who will greatly improve accessibility to care in Mitchell, Avery and Yancey counties. The construction has largely moved inside, with ceilings going up, and walls being completed. Floor tile will be installed soon, and numerous inspections are pending.
