Final Beam Placed in Maury Regional’s New Outpatient Pavilion as Major Growth Continues

Maury Regional Health marked a major milestone in the construction of its Outpatient Pavilion expansion with a “topping out” ceremony held June 6, celebrating the placement of the final steel beam in the building’s structural framework.

“The five-story facility, located on the campus of Maury Regional Medical Center (MRMC), brings multiple outpatient services under one roof, allowing us to enhance access, efficiency and patient experience,” said CEO Martin Chaney, MD. “This expansion represents the next step in reimagining how we deliver outpatient care in our growing region, giving access to leading-edge treatments close to home. The Orthopedic Surgical Institute ­— a new feature of the Outpatient Pavilion — brings advanced technology to support joint and spine procedures, serving as a cornerstone for our new vision.”

In May 2024 — just more than one year ago — Maury Regional Health held a groundbreaking ceremony to launch construction on the new 34,000-square-foot expansion. The Outpatient Pavilion will house the new Orthopedic Surgical Institute, a reimagined Breast Center on the second floor and additional space for future growth.

The Orthopedic Surgical Institute will feature four operating suites, two procedure rooms, a sterilization and surgical supply unit and space for future expansion. It will be equipped with advanced technology for joint and spine procedures, including robotic-assisted tools and systems designed to enhance precision and recovery. Notable technology will include the Mako robotic-assisted platform for joint replacements, the 7D Surgical Flash™ Navigation System for spinal procedures and systems supporting a wide range of orthopedic subspecialties.

The Maury Regional Breast Center — formerly the Women’s Center — hosts a comprehensive array of health care services for women, including 3D mammography, breast biopsy, breast ultrasound and bone density studies. The Breast Center phase of the expansion opened this month, with a ribbon-cutting to take place June 18.

Construction on the Orthopedic Surgical Institute is expected to be completed in 2026. Maury Regional Health worked with Turner Construction and Wold Architects and Engineers on this project, which is among several facility enhancements currently underway across the health system.

Enhancements at the main campus in Columbia include renovation of the emergency department, expansion of the heart center, parking and thoroughfare improvements, additional childbirth beds and expansion of the front entry to relocate key patient and visitor services toward the main entrance. The system also recently celebrated a “topping out” of its new outpatient health center in Lawrenceburg, which is expected to open late 2025 pending weather delays.

Quick Action by Officer Leads to Felony Arrest and CPD Recognition

From Columbia Police Department’s post…  

During the month of April, Officer Williams observed a blue Nissan in the parking lot of A & M Market. He recognized the passenger due to their involvement in previous criminal activity and discovered they currently had an active warrant out of Maury County. Officer Williams stopped the vehicle and took the passenger into custody for the warrant. Searching the vehicle, a firearm along with drug paraphernalia were located. The arrestee, being a convicted felon, was also charged with unlawful possession of a weapon. Because of Officer William's efforts, he was named the Columbia Police Department’s Officer of the Month for April 2025. Thank you for a job well done.
