When LCMC bought the hospital for $90 million in 2020, it agreed to spend $100 million in five years on upgrades. 

The latest investment will either build or renovate 30 intensive care unit beds.

Previously, LCMC outfitted the hospital with new emergency generators, a new heating and cooling system, transitioned its EHR system and added a new MRI machine.
