The construction is moving on the Long Island Jewish (LIJ) inpatient pavilion and the Iris & Saul Katz Women’s Hospital. The 10-story LIJ inpatient pavilion will accommodate the women’s hospital with a capacity of 60 medical/surgical beds.
The building will have a glass exterior. The health system will house a pediatric intensive care unit which will include an eight-bed pediatric intensive care suite. It will also have an expanded bone marrow transplant unit which will serve babies at high-risk. This unit will be built at a cost of $9 million.
The project is expected to be completed in March 2012, at a cost of $265 million.
