Ground is expected to be broken later this year on the $95 million, 135,000 square-foot St. Mary’s Orthopedic Hospital.
The four-story facility will serve as extension of the St. Mary’s Epworth Crossing campus in Newburgh. St. Mary’s President Keith Jewell says it will provide surgical and non-surgical care to meet the expanding need for orthopedic services in the region.
"Demand for orthopedic services is projected to increase by 24 percent over the next several years," said Jewell. "By partnering with Tri-State Orthopaedics in the development and delivery of leading-edge orthopedic care, we are investing in the current and future healthcare needs of those we’re privileged to serve."
St. Mary’s Orthopedic Hospital will feature 48 inpatient rooms, 10 operating suites with room for expansion and two procedure rooms. It will provide many services for patients, including elective inpatient and outpatient orthopedic and spine surgeries, imaging services, physical therapy and respiratory therapy, among others.
The hospital is scheduled to open in the fall of 2018.
