The renovations, which came about a year after St. Luke’s acquired Sacred Heart, include service, technological and building upgrades. One of the largest projects was expanding Sacred Heart’s behavioral health unit. The $11 million project included two new floors and an additional 42 inpatient beds for a total of 109.
Another large project was a $10 million investment in converting Sacred Heart to Epic’s EHR. Other changes included projects to support medically underserved populations in the community through expanded health and education centers.
