Community leaders and representatives from St. Luke’s Health System celebrated the expansion of St. Luke’s Nampa at a groundbreaking ceremony Aug. 5 in Nampa, Idaho.
The $96-million expansion will provide additional space for new services at the hospital, including three floors with 76 patient rooms, a newborn intensive care unit, children’s services with outpatient sub-specialists, additional heart services and an intensive care unit. The expansion will be complete by the fall of 2017 and will also include:
- Obstetrics and women’s services
- Medical imaging
- Advanced cancer services
Nampa’s hospital will also include seven family suites. The special rooms allow a new mother to stay with her newborn and other family members, giving the family an opportunity to experience enhanced bonding, communication and nurturing. The family suites will be the first of their kind in Idaho, said Paul Lodge, chair of St. Luke’s Canyon Community Council and a long-time Canyon County resident and rancher.
St. Luke’s Nampa opened its medical plaza in 2012 with a full-service, 24-hour emergency department, laboratory services, diagnostic and imaging services, medical office space and outpatient services.
St. Luke’s maintains an in-house construction department. The architects for the project are ARCH NEXUS and Houston Bugatsch.
