History

When it was constructed in 1997, floors were built and left vacant to speed the construction of future expansions while reducing the impact of new construction on existing operations. The first expansion was to double the size of the Intensive Care Unit unit in 1999.

In 2001 the number of available beds was doubled from another expansion.

A four bed pediatric emergency room was opened in June 2005.

Plans were announced on March 13, 2007 to expand the hospital to 480 beds and add a second medical office building with 80,000 sq ft to the campus. The expansion that is projected to cost $100 million entered it's last phase with the ground breaking for the patient tower. The ER expansion and the 600 space parking garage have been completed. [
