Spanning 30,000 square feet, the expansion will house the Heart and Vascular Institute started by the hospital in 2010. The expansion project is designed to change the look of the hospital fronting State Road 7 and will add operating rooms, an intensive care unit, and state-of-the-art cath lab.
Construction on the expansion is expected to be complete in mid-2013. The Northwest Medical Center is also planning to embark on renovation and expansion of its emergency room, which has not been upgraded since last 15 years.
Northwest Medical Center is a 215-bed medical center and healthcare complex staffed by nearly 600 physicians and 800 healthcare professionals.
