Allen Parish Hospital in Kinder, La., is planning to build a hospital that will serve as a replacement facility, according to local news station KPLC TV.
The five-year project is expected to take place in three phases and cost $28 million to $35 million.
The first phase will add space for surgical services, a new emergency room, new lobby, lab and pharmacy services.
"We're really in need of a new hospital. It's outdated, it's not up to code. We really need a replacement hospital at this point in time," Allen Parish Hospital CEO Jaqueline Reviel told KPLC TV.
