St. Elizabeth Healthcare is expanding its Florence hospital campus to offer advanced, specialized care in Northern Kentucky and improve patient experience.
Through a $65 – $85 million investment, nearly 125,000 square feet of new or renovated space and three years of development, the completed project will enable increased access to care for the community and reduce the need for residents to travel out-of-state for specialized services, the Northern Kentucky Tribune reports.
St. Elizabeth is making a variety of updates to the campus, including the relocation of inpatient orthopaedics; creation of an endoscopy center; renovation of 10 existing operating rooms, and creation of five new operating rooms; greater accommodation of growth in bariatric surgery; renovation of over 24,000 square feet of inpatient space; a new atrium entrance and waiting area and a complete overhaul of the traffic flow, roadways and walkways. The project is slated for completion in fall 2023. Read more.
