  • 106 private patient rooms 
  • A new 24-room intensive care unit 
  • 18 private neonatal intensive care unit rooms 
  • cardiac catheterization suites 
  • expanded neurosurgery capabilities 
  • six additional operating rooms 
  • specialized oncology and orthopedic units 
  • expanded emergency department 
  • additional parking and campus redesign. 

Along with remodeled admitting, imaging, and public areas, the hospital plans to hire additional physicians, specialists, nurses and other clinical and non-clinical staff.
