The facility “does not have enough inpatient beds for the patient care demand in the community,” the hospital’s president told the Journal.
The system is planning to add a $20 million, 20,500-square-foot unit for patients either admitted after coming through the ER or requiring care following surgical procedures. The hospital’s existing 198 beds are typically full, with patient counts well exceeding that number, according to the report.
The hospital is also adding a three-level, 62,000-square-foot medical office building with an ASC that will have two operating rooms and three procedure rooms.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
