Monument Health announced two major construction projects in Spearfish and one in Rapid City, the Black Hills Pioneer reports.
The first is the expansion – about double in size, of the Spearfish, SD, hospital, and Monument Health will construct a new multispecialty clinic near the Elkhorn Ridge.
The two projects constitute about an $80 million investment.
The expansion, although early in the design phase, calls for a three-story building to be constructed at the northwest corner of Rapid City Hospital (across the campus from the new Cancer Care Institute expansion). It will include a completely new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), offering more space and privacy for families. NICU babies will be separated by walls rather than curtains. The new postpartum care area will offer more room and privacy as well. Read more.
