Hospital officials have narrowed down the replacement facility’s location to two sites, both on properties the hospital owns near the existing facility, said Ashley Dickinson, CEO of La Porte Hospital.
The replacement hospital will focus on accommodating a growing number of outpatient visits and fewer admissions, Ms. Dickinson said. It will also be designed for future expansion projects and will have a medical office building.
The existing hospital will be demolished if no other organization can find a use for it, Ms. Dickinson said.
