The system recently finished construction on one part of the project, a $22.8 million freestanding emergency department.
It will also expand its HealthPlex hospital, also in Norman, to 650,000 square feet. The facility will now have 307 beds, a larger emergency department, surgical suites, intensive care, a new ambulatory pavilion and a cancer center. The hospital is slated to open in 2023.
The expansion will also demolish most of the health system’s Norman Regional Hospital to create a health village that will include urgent care, preventive care, health education, independent senior living, retail facilities and a 48-bed behavioral health center.
The health village is slated to open in 2026, and the behavioral health center will open in 2024.
