Johnson City, Tenn.-based Mountain States Health Alliance has announced the ground breaking of a $69 million surgery tower expansion at its Johnson City Medical Center.
The 156,000-square-foot facility will feature 16 operating suites, 48 beds for pre- and postoperative care and a satellite pharmacy. Each operating suite will be 30 percent larger than the current suites to provide more space for clinicians and new technology.
Of the $69 million in costs, $34 million is allocated for construction and $35 million for equipment, including LED surgical lighting, a robotic imaging system, high-definition monitors, ceiling-mounted anesthesia equipment and video monitors for ceiling booms.
The hospital will design the tower to meet LEED certification requirements.
