Slidell (La.) Memorial Hospital is set to start its $50 million expansion in December, the largest project in the hospital's history, New Orleans City Business reported Nov. 9.
The 64,000-square-foot expansion will add a three-story building with new operating suites, an additional intensive care unit, and a new inpatient care unit with private rooms.
The hospital will also renovate a 14,000-square-foot surgical space on the second floor of its existing facility.
The project is funded in part by a $23.1 million bond issue that was approved by voters in 2021.
Construction is slated to begin on Dec. 5 and will wrap in late 2024.
