Kansas City, Mo.-based Saint Luke's has broken ground on a $52 million project to expand its East Hospital in Lee's Summit, Mo., ABC affiliate KMBC reported April 12.
The project includes a 62,000-square-foot expansion to the hospital campus as well as renovations to an existing 52,000-square-foot building, according to the report.
Bobby Olm-Shipman, president and CEO of Saint Luke’s Hospital's south and east regions, told the news outlet that Lee's Summit as a whole has grown over the past several years and the hospital has grown "almost nonstop since 2006 to keep pace with the community."
