HRMC filed a certificate of need with the state June 15 to build the new patient tower. Hospital representatives say it will give the orthopedic team and their patients easier access to resources and support offered by the hospital.

If the CON is approved, construction on the new orthopedics and spine hospital could begin as early as 2017, with completion expected within three to five years, according to the report.
