In addition to the new surgical suite, the project will also include construction of a 200-foot long enclosed corridor bridge connecting the new surgical suite to the main hospital building.

Before the board voted, a presentation was made on behalf of the hospital detailing how the plan will improve patient care by increasing efficiency and staff productivity, while creating 10 permanent medical professional jobs.
