Aurora-based UCHealth's planned expansion of its Memorial Hospital North in Colorado Springs, Colo., received $25 million in additional funding, reports The Gazette.
The extra $25 million investment allows the hospital to increase the project cost from $85 million to $110 million. It comes as demand for services at Memorial Hospital North has risen, according to the report.
UCHealth proposed constructing the four-story, 130,000-square-foot addition last June, which occurs simultaneously with construction of the $100 million Children's Hospital Colorado on Memorial Hospital North's campus.
Both projects are slated for completion next year or in early 2019, according to the report.
