Construction is underway for a patient tower at McLaren Port Huron (Mich.) hospital and expected to be completed by the end of 2018, according to The Times Herald.
When finished, the four-story, 165,000-square-foot facility will be located on the south part of the hospital's campus.
The first floor of the tower will house an emergency center and observation unit. Four operating suites and 18 intensive care unit beds will sit directly above the emergency department on the second floor to enhance patient flow.
The last two floors of the patient tower will house private patient rooms, with 36 cardiac beds on the third floor and 36 surgical beds on the fourth floor.
