After 18 months of construction, the new four story, $40 million tower on Morphy Avenue has been completed and ready for move-in, according to the city’s building official.

The city partnered with the hospital to bury overhead electric lines and install new sidewalks to make way for the building.

The bottom floor is for parking and the second for patient beds; the hospital intends to add a cath lab on the third floor and more beds on the fourth eventually, he said. 

A helicopter landing pad is on  the roof for transporting patients.

Not enough parking, not enough beds. It’s gonna be rough.

State regulations only allow about 50 new beds to be added at once. I believe this entire project was all completed 6-12 months ahead of schedule!

If that first level parking garage is all of the new parking added for this expansion, then it is definitely insufficient...and will only compound the existing severe parking shortage at the hospital.

This parking is to replace the pre-existing lot that was there before the new tower was built. We have been told a parking deck is planned out in front of the main building .... someday ...
