Cullman Regional Completes Two-Phase Expansion Project

The hospital now has 175 beds.

By HFT Staff


Cullman Regional is now a 175-bed hospital after adding 30 new beds to its critical care and medical surgical units. The two-phase expansion project included construction of a new four-story bed tower and a major renovation of existing patient care areas on both units. 

When the new bed tower was completed in July, patient care was transitioned to the newly constructed areas and crews began a complete renovation of the existing patient rooms. After approval by the Alabama Department of Public Health and the Joint Commission, the hospital has fully opened both units which have doubled in size. 

The new CCU rooms feature many upgrades including patient beds that use advanced technology to provide therapeutic and patient safety features. The rooms are spacious to accommodate medical equipment when necessary, and new communication tools and dedicated observation/workstations are located outside of each room. 

The new bed-tower, part of a $30 million overall expansion project that also included renovating and enlarging the hospital’s ER in 2022, was supported by U.S. Representative Robert Aderholt with appropriated funds. The bed-tower was the third in a series of four major expansion projects the hospital will complete within three years including the ER expansion, an outpatient facility in Hartselle and a freestanding ER in Hartselle which will open this summer.
