The new facility, to be called Lutheran Downtown Hospital, will replace St. Joseph Hospital. The 180,000-square-foot hospital will be built to allow growth to more than 100 beds.
“Long before the notion of ‘downtown revitalization’ began to materialize nearly a decade ago, Lutheran Health Network was already turning vision into reality through the ongoing modernization of St. Joseph Hospital and its campus,” LHN CEO Mike Poore told the News-Sentinel. “As we look to the future of healthcare and how it will be delivered in and around the heart of the city, this new facility will serve as a springboard to bigger and better things.”
Construction on Lutheran Downtown Hospital is slated to begin in summer 2019 with completion in late 2021, according to the report.
