US-based Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel has unveiled plans to start construction on a $78m expansion project this year in a bid to increase the number of patient rooms, operating rooms and emergency suites.
Located in Pasco county, Florida, the expansion will include 112,000ft² of new construction and 11,000ft² of renovation.
Florida Hospital Wesley Chapel president Denyse Bales-Chubb said: "The community has overwhelmingly shown us both the need for the hospital and their confidence and appreciation for the high-quality care our staff delivers every day."
The expansion will add three floors to the hospital’s centre wing, in addition to the new three-story section that will link existing south and centre wings.
As a result of expansion, operating rooms will be increased from five to nine and inpatient rooms from 83 to 145, as well as private emergency rooms from 18 to 35.
