HUD provides the loan insurance through the Federal Housing Administration’s Hospital Mortgage Insurance Program. The insurance will allow the hospital to obtain lower cost financing that will save an estimated $4.2 million in interest expense, according to the release.
The current hospital is more than 50 years old and does not have sufficient space or infrastructure to serve the community, according to the release. The new hospital will include an emergency room, inpatient and outpatient surgery areas, a laboratory, imaging department, primary care clinic and home health agency.
