Lourdes is embarking on a $70 million, 3-year construction project to
update and expand the hospital.
After
three years of planning and designing, Lourdes master facility project – now
called Mission 2012: Building Tomorrow’s Healthcare Today will bring new
technology to Lourdes and provide patients with a more streamlined system of
obtaining outpatient services.
The project consists of multiple construction phases, beginning in March
2009 with the estimated completion in October 2012.
The project will include:
- Expansion and modernization of the Emergency Department
- Addition of a new open MRI
- Addition of two new surgical suites
- FEMA approved and funded flood wall
- Construction of a new Ambulatory Care Building that will house
Lourdes’ Gastroenterology (GI) Suite, a registration area, an outpatient
blood draw lab area, a pre-admission testing area and Lourdes
Rehabilitation Department
- A new two-story main entrance connecting the new Ambulatory Care
Building and the existing hospital
- Expansion, redesign and modernization of the Radiology Department
- A multi-story parking garage will be the final phase beginning in
2012
"This
project reflects Lourdes’ continued commitment to the community to make
healthcare more accessible,” stated David Patak, Interim President/CEO of
Lourdes Hospital. “This project is a proactive approach to
ambulatory/outpatient care. It will also serve as an anchor in recruiting
and retaining high quality medical professionals to our area.”
