The groundbreaking, which was expected to begin this Fall, was pushed back because designs for the new facility are still being finalized.
The $51 million facility is being financed by $48 million in loans from the USDA and through a hospital capital campaign.
The new facility is expected to take 20 months to build, once construction begins.
