Construction broke ground in February and has for the most part remained on schedule. Roche said some supplies have been hard to come by because the coronavirus pandemic has shut down some factories. The renovations to the existing Emergency Center and a 12,500-square-foot addition are part of a four-phase, $15 million project. By late summer, the steel of the addition, which will sit off of Newell Road, should begin being put into place. The first phase of the project was completed last year, when the hospital unveiled its new 10-bed Emergency Center Behavioral Health Unit. The 2,700-square-foot unit is designed to meet the mental health and substance abuse needs of the community in light of the nation’s opioid epidemic. The entire project, which is currently in phase two, is slated to be completed by 2021 in alignment with the hospital’s 100 year anniversary.
