Northwestern Medicine Catherine Gratz Griffin Lake Forest (Ill.) Hospital opened its $389 million patient pavilions.

The two new pavilions add approximately 290,000 square feet of space and nearly double the hospital’s capacity with the addition of 96 medical-surgical beds and 18 observation beds, according to a Feb. 17 system news release. 

The investment also expanded and renovated the hospital’s emergency department, and added diagnostic imaging capacity, such as X-ray, CT and ultrasound.

Next, the facility will be opening a cardiac surgery program by early 2027, which will enable patients to receive advanced cardiovascular care at the campus.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
