The addition includes twelve new short stay beds eight additional beds for the Emergency Department, an increase in radiology capacity, and addition to surgical areas and associated new inpatient support spaces. The new expansion also allows for as many as 44 single-bed inpatient rooms to meet the needs of future subspecialties.
