The hospital will begin construction on a new five-story tower that will add 60 patient beds to the 120-bed facility next year. The 170,000-square-foot tower is expected to include cardiovascular, surgical, orthopedic, stroke, maternity and obstetrics services as well as intensive care and emergency services, according to the report.
