The steelworkers erecting Kaleida Health’s heart and vascular institute next to Buffalo General Hospital recently paid everlasting tribute to South Buffalo’s Patrick Kane. As seen in the entry photo, the steelworkers painted “(Buzz) Pat Kane Wins Stanley Cup” on the 6th floor steel beam. Buzz was Kane’s childhood nickname. Many of the steelworkers working on the project are South Buffalo natives.
The $291-million combined facility will bring together Kaleida Health physicians and University at Buffalo researchers in a collaborative effort to deliver state-of-the-art clinical care, produce major breakthroughs on the causes and treatment of vascular disease and spin-off new biotechnology businesses and jobs.
The building will house four floors of Kaleida Health’s $173 million merger of its cardiac, stroke and vascular operations, plus a new and expanded emergency department.
It will also house research and development facilities, including four floors for UB’s $118 million Clinical and Translational Research Center (CTRC) and a UB Biosciences Incubator.
