Dr. Keith Hill describes Beaumont Bone & Joint Institute as a partner, neighbor and friend to Southeast Texas and beyond.
“Not only have they been providing care for broken bones, muscles and joint illnesses, but they also have been providing many subspecialities, including complicated hand and wrist problems, joint replacement, complex traumatic injuries, sport-related injuries and foot and ankle reconstruction,” the BBJI spokesman said.
Hill was speaking before more than 100 people at Beaumont Bone & Joint’s ceremonial groundbreaking for a new facility.
H.B. Neild Construction is leading the medical center’s two-story build, which encompasses 44,000 square feet.
It is in Tuscany Park, located at 3460 N. Dowlen Road in Beaumont.
The medical facility represents an investment in the future of the community, Hill stressed, with state-of-the-art features allowing local doctors to continue providing cutting-edge care.
“We are committed to giving back to the community where we all live,” he said. “We are invested in the long-term plan to support the people of Beaumont and the surrounding communities. We are very excited to share our vision of the future with the people of Beaumont and all of Southeast Texas.”
Hill said Beaumont Bone & Joint Institute’s medical professionals have trained with major programs all over the United States, adding these doctors could have gone anyplace, “but the members of BBJI want to be here in Southeast Texas. We are part of this community. We are honored to take care of wonderful people.”
Medical leaders said the community can expect the latest innovations in health care, along with personable, affordable and comprehensive bone and joint care in one full-service location.
H.B. Neild Construction CEO Taylor Neild Sr. said H.B. Neild Construction professionals would deliver first-class craftsmanship, fabrication and structure.
“This new facility is an investment in the health of our friends and neighbors,” he said. “The community will soon take advantage of more advanced care, more convenience and the same trusted expertise. Our team is going to construct the facility, Beaumont Bone & Joint is going to fill it with expert personnel, and together we’ll build a stronger medical community for the Golden Triangle.”
The two-story building with tilt walls includes a medical facility operating with full x-ray and MRI capabilities and dedicated physical and occupational rooms, along with various doctors’ offices.
The final build will exhibit an Italian architectural design.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS
Annie Neild Howell, Executive Vice President of H.B. Neild:
“(Beaumont Bone & Joint Institute) has served Beaumont for many years. I’ve seen their impact on the community, whether it’s through high school sports or the many charitable groups they support. It’s important to have reputable doctors here to help take care of our community.
“It’s rewarding to put our name behind a group that cares about our community, while bringing a level of first-class service. They look out for everyone’s best interests because they are embedded locally. Their children go to our schools, they attend our churches, and they are active in the community. It falls hand-in-hand with what our mission is as a company to serve and better our community in whatever way we can.”
Ty Neild, Senior Project Manager for H.B. Neild:
“This has been one of my favorite jobs. It’s special and closer to home, for sure.
“We are doing a good job coordinating with the ownership group, with the architects, and with our subcontractors and trades on a bi-weekly basis. We spend a lot of time up front figuring out the logistics of how everything will go in, so it can be more of a plug and play situation when materials arrive on site. We know the deadlines that H.B. Neild is obligated to meet, and that is one of the reasons people hire H.B. Neild: To meet those dates.”
Dr. Matthew Kergosien, Beaumont Bone & Joint Institute Partner President:
“I’ve got a great group of partners. These guys have been good mentors and colleagues ever since I got here. We continue to recruit talented, young and energetic surgeons to join us.
“We’re super excited about this project. It means a lot to us. It is the next phase for Beaumont Bone & Joint. We’ve made a commitment to continue to provide quality orthopedic care to Southeast Texas, hopefully for the next 60 years.”
