The Tradition Medical Center will encompass 201,184 square feet with 90 patient beds and space to expand to approximately 300 beds. The system is also planning to construct a medical office building adjacent to the new hospital, which is expected to open in early 2014.
Martin Health System first sought a certificate of need to build a hospital in 1998 and continued filing applications over eight years. In June 2007, the system received preliminary approval, which was challenged but upheld in a court of appeals in October 2010.
