First medical office under construction at St. Vincent land on Billings West End – Billings Gazette

A new medical facility is under construction on Billings western edge on land long held by St. Vincent Healthcare.

The owners of Summit Oral Surgery are building a 6,800-square-foot facility on one acre at the northwest corner of Shiloh Road and King Avenue West, the first building in the proposed medical complex, said Brian Ludwig of Billings, Summits co-owner.

Ludwig and his partner, Rod Griffith, currently operate the practice in Lamplighter Square, which is now owned by Billings Clinic. They hope to relocate by the end of the year.

The $2 million project has been in the works for a few years, Ludwig said. It broke ground Thursday.

Were just growing out of the space, he said.

St. Vincent has held on to a 113-acre site at the corner for years. The hospital has already developed water, sewer and other services in the area. St. Vincent plans to develop additional medical offices and facilities there.

Summit Oral will add a third surgeon, Jesse Gray, and additional employees at the new location, Ludwig said. The new address will be 625 Henry Chapple Dr.
