Hartford-based Connecticut Children's is to break ground on what it terms the "most ambitious expansion in its history" April 28.
The system will begin construction on an eight-story clinical tower, which is expected to be complete in 2025. One of the units to eventually be located in the new building will be a fetal care center, the only such facility in New England.
The new tower will be built adjacent to Connecticut Children's existing medical center, according to a news release shared with Becker's.
Connecticut Children's serves as the primary pediatric teaching hospital for the University of Connecticut School of Medicine and operates a 187-bed facility.
