McKee Urgent Care Lost City Permits After Wall Collapse
A three-bed urgent-care hospital planned by developer Paul McKee has lost its city building permits.
In December, after months of inactivity at the site, the project’s partial walls collapsed. Last month, the city marked the site as “abandoned” after little communication from the contractor, St. Louis Building Commissioner Frank Oswald said.
The project would have brought three hospital beds and 24/7 emergency service to a part of north St. Louis that has few urgent care facilities and lower life expectancy. The area has the “highest health concerns” in the city, according to the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services.
The developer had scheduled the urgent care for completion in late 2019, according to a progress report an attorney for the developer filed with the Missouri Department of Health and Human Services last November.
