The emergency and trauma center is the first phase of the capital projects, according to a Sharp HealthCare news release. The groundbreaking also signals the start of a $250 million fundraising campaign for advancements at its corporate headquarters, regional medical centers and specialty hospitals. So far, $86 million has been raised for the campaign, called “Envision: The Campaign for Sharp HealthCare.”
The expansion of the emergency and trauma center will add 31 treatment rooms, a new CT room and two specialized rooms for patients with contagious diseases.
Later phases include a new 152-bed patient tower at Sharp Memorial Hospital and 15-bed expansion at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns.
The projects will happen over the next decade, according to the news release.
