The 82-bed hospital is applying for an FHA 242 loan from the Federal government for the 100,000 square-foot facility, which would include private patient rooms, digital mammography, an enclosed MRI and a 9,000 square-foot ER.
Construction would begin in mid-2010 and would take 18-24 months to complete.
