The new five-story, 120,000-square-foot addition has four patient floors with private rooms, designed to provide state-of-the-art inpatient care in a family-friendly environment. Patient floors include a 30-bed intensive care unit, two 30-bed medical/surgical units, and 30 comprehensive rehabilitation beds. The first floor houses a cardio diagnostics center, including nuclear medicine.
