The donation was made posthumously by local philanthropist David Swope. The lobby and lounge, located on the hospital’s third floor, will be named in his honor, according to a news release shared with Becker’s.
Mr. Swope served on the hospital’s board of trustees. His father was a founding board member.
The new area will serve patients in a new private wing, the endoscopy unit and operating rooms in the surgical pavilion.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony was held Nov. 9.
