Blue River Surgery Center

The Blue River Surgery Center is a freestanding outpatient surgery center in Kansas City, MO affiliated with HCA Midwest Health. BHC provided site design, grading, utilities, and stormwater management for the 20,000 SF ambulatory surgery center. BHC provided landscape architecture, including planting design, to create a calm and welcoming experience for patients and visitors. Varying tree species line the street and parking areas to provide shade and seasonal interest, while shrubs, perennials, and flowering trees are clustered at entries and main thoroughfares for visual appeal. Turf grass and wide-coverage ground-covers simplify maintenance at the rear of the site, and low-maintenance plantings, shaded walkways, and accessible pathways offer comfort and ease of movement. Clear signage and thoughtful circulation improve wayfinding, and durable, attractive materials paired with seasonal color contribute to a professional image that reflects the quality of care inside.
