The ceremony marked the completion of the structural phase of the new facility that will replace the 50-year-old medical center with much larger hospital. The new facility will feature 150 beds, an expanded emergency care center and more resources for dealing with behavioral health issues like post-traumatic stress disorder.
The 950,000 square feet facility will also feature special intensive care units and a neonatal intensive care unit. It is expected to be completed by 2015.
