Deborah Heart and Lung Center broke ground on a $108 million capital expansion and renovation project in New Jersey. The project is financed by an $88 million U.S. Department of Agriculture low-interest loan for rural development; $10 million from Greater Commercial Lending; and a capital fundraising campaign by Deborah Hospital Foundation that raised the $10 million balance.
The groundbreaking has been timed for launch to coincide with Deborah’s 100th Anniversary celebration this year. This is the first major capital expansion at Deborah’s Browns Mills campus since the mid 1990s, when the Hospital added and renovated more than 120,000 square feet of space, and then again in 2018 when a 60,000 square foot freestanding Medical Office Building was dedicated.
When the new project is completed, all patient rooms will be private, all new rooms will be critical care and isolation capable, and there will be a floor of dedicated respite space for staff with indoor and outdoor covered lounges as well as quiet rooms. Read more.
