Hermiston, Ore.-based Good Shepherd Health Care System broke ground Tuesday on an $11 million expansion of its Women's Center, according to the Hermiston Herald.
The expansion will increase the Women's Center from 4,500 square feet to 11,000 square feet. It will also add new exam rooms and provider offices and space to accommodate future growth.
Good Shepherd Health Care System will also redesign the main boulevard running through its campus, add more parking and move the hospital's community gardens to a space that is three times as large as its current location.
Good Shepherd CEO Dennis Burke said the construction costs were expected to exceed $9.5 million, with the purchase of new medical equipment bringing the total cost up to approximately $11 million.
The construction is expected to be finished by fall of 2017.
