Livingston Hospital announced a major expansion and modernization of its current 25-bed facility, along with an expansion of ambulatory services throughout Livingston and Crittenden Counties Wednesday.
Both expansions will come with a price of around $60 million and are set to begin within the next year. It will include space for expanded services, such as more operating rooms, an oncology and infusion area, nuclear medicine, MRI, 3D mammography, DEXA scans, and cardiac rehab. Newly-renovated all-private rooms and an inpatient therapy center are also in the project plans.
Hospital CEO Shane Whittington said, “Livingston Hospital has been here to meet the health care needs of our community for nearly 70 years,” and that, “This expansion and modernization will further enhance our ability to provide quality surgical and hospital-based care to patients in Livingston, Crittenden, and Lyon Counties, keeping them close to home.”
Livingston Hospital employs more than 180 people and a groundbreaking ceremony will be planned in the near future.
