The building, which will connect to the current facility on the first floor, is scheduled to be complete in summer 2016.

Key features of the new hospital will include:

The existing facility will continue to house ICU, cardiovascular critical care, the emergency department and heart catheterization lab. The inpatient and outpatient behavioral health center will also remain in the current location.

After the new hospital is complete, the existing patient tower will have space to expand current or future service lines.
