The Renown Regional Hospital is expanding, with a new trauma ICU unit, as well as a new central utility plant on the north side of the hospital near 2nd Street, with additional electrical outputs and backup power systems.
Furthermore, Renown South Meadows Medical Center is constructing a 121,000 square foot Specialty Care Center. This three story building will be connected to the main Medical Center on the property and will focus on expanding laboratory diagnostic services including an Interventional Radiology and a Cardiac Catheterization Lab. The second floor will house a surgery center as well as a sterile processing department.
Renown has suffered recent financial challenges, but is firm in executing their Master Facilities Plan which was started in 2020 with multiple projects funded from current assets as well as $200 million in tax exempt bonds.
IRS regulations require that 85% of tax-exempt bonds be spent within three years of being issued.
Expect construction to impact parking as the entrance to South Meadows Medical Center off of Double R Blvd is closed to construction vehicles only.
