The 174,954-square-foot acute care facility will feature an emergency department double the size of the existing facility, a maternity and neonatal intensive care unit with 13 labor and delivery rooms, three surgical suites and 19 NICU beds, as well as a new medical surgical unit with all private rooms. Additionally, the project calls for a floor containing seven operating rooms, 20 pre-operative and recovery beds and a cardiac catheterization lab.
The patient tower, which will replace the aging hospital building, is part of a $350 million campus upgrade to ensure the medical center meets all state seismic requirements.
“While initially triggered by state seismic requirements, we see this as an opportunity to achieve far more than is required and to better position the medical center for the long term by providing improved facilities and a broader range of programs in an accessible, welcoming, patient-friendly environment,” said HPMC President and CEO Robert Allen.
The ED portion of the project is slated for completion in 2020. HPMC did not provide an estimated completion date for the patient tower.
