Health system leaders are calling the project the nation’s first all-electric hospital. The 13.5-acre complex will include a 45,000-square-foot central utility plant, which will use solar panels to fuel the buildings: a five-story center for advanced care, a five-story cancer center and ambulatory care building, and a seven-story hospital.
Between construction and healthcare needs, the project could create 2,500 new jobs.
The complex is expected to wrap in 32 months and is “moving along nicely,” Chad Lefteris, the health system’s CEO, told the Journal.
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.
