Construction is expected to finish in 2024.
“The new hospital build will be constructed around our current facility,” Kelly Park, BSN, RN, CEO of Sweeny Community Hospital, said at the groundbreaking ceremony. “You will see equipment brought in, structures being torn down and parking accommodations being made very soon. We will have to board up the front and divert traffic to the back of the hospital.”
The new facility will be two stories, according to the report.
