A groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday marked the official beginning of an expansion project at Cullman (Ala.) Regional Medical Center, according to a CullmanSense report.
Here are four things to know about the project.
1. The project, announced last January, won't actually involve any broken ground, according to the report.
2. Rather, as part of the project, a fifth floor — and 30 new beds — will be added to the main hospital building, according to the report.
3. The project, the report notes, is also expected to add 30 new jobs at the hospital initially, and additional jobs when the expansion is fully complete.
4. The project is expected to be completed by the fall of 2018, according to the report.
