The hospital also plans to add eight beds to its intensive care unit for a total of 24 beds, according to the report.
The new heart institute will include three catheterization labs and an electrophysiology lab; a new endovascular suite and hybrid operating room; 10 private prep and recovery rooms; and a five-bay post-anesthesia area, according to the report.
Construction on the hospital has already begun and is expected to be completed in early 2017.
