CHRISTUS Santa Rosa - Westover Hills is slated for a $95 million expansion, bringing a new five-story tower to the Far West Side. 🏥

Here's what we know:

Construction is expected to begin in January 2023 and be completed by the end of 2024.
The project will add an additional 172,000 sqft to the hospital.
The tower will feature four new labor, delivery, and recovery rooms + six new triage rooms (the place where each patient's condition is prioritized when coming to the ER).
New cross-corridors connecting the new and existing towers will be added.
Charlotte-based architecture and engineering firm Haskell, Co. will lead the project.

Hospital officials hope the expansion will address an over 20% increase in population since 2010. The dramatic population boom in Westover Hills has also prompted Baptist Health System to expand into the area with a new 104-bed hospital slated for construction this year. if there's a more specific body responsible, replace it for "hospital officials"
