Because of supply chain disruptions, the hospital’s opening date has been pushed back until July 2023, and the cost of building has increased from $150 million to almost $170 million, according to the report.
Originally named St. Clare Hospital, the Colorado Springs facility will now be called St. Francis Hospital-Interquest, a name that dates to a hospital built in the city in 1887.

The hospital will include 64 inpatient beds, eight critical care beds, a 14-bed emergency department, 10 operating rooms and 30 beds for surgical preparation and recovery.
