Overview

• The eight-story, 200,000-square-foot tower will deliver all-private rooms, new operating suites, and dedicated cardiac and neuro ICUs.
• Hospital leaders say the project will more than double critical-care capacity; WRIC reports ICU beds will grow from 35 to 64.
• The NICU will expand from 21 to 31 bassinets with private rooms, flexible spaces for multiples, and new family amenities.
• Patient rooms are planned as AI-enabled “smart rooms,” and campus changes include relocated parking and a bridge linking to the south tower.
• Bon Secours targets a 2028 opening for the tower with renovations to about 90,000 square feet to follow, while RMHC plans a larger Jackson Ward house to support more NICU families.
