Durham, N.C.-based Duke Regional Hospital broke ground March 25 on a $102.4 million expansion, the largest construction project since the hospital opened in 1976, according to The Chronicle.
The expansion will increase the number of private rooms in the emergency department and clinical decision unit and add a 42-bed behavioral health unit and behavioral health emergency department. The project is expected to be finished by spring 2021.
"While our campus is going to look a bit different in 2021 when we open exactly two years from now, our vision at Duke Regional Hospital remains the same: Our aim is to be the best community hospital," Katie Galbraith, president of Duke Regional Hospital, said in a news release.
