18 new Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) beds and four antepartum beds for high-risk mothers-to-be were also added to Henderson Hospital’s Women’s Services division as part of the project. A three-story parking structure with 480 spots was erected to support the predicted increased patient load. It has the option to extend to six levels.
The tower construction comes on the heels of a $24 million expansion project that included a 25-bed observation nursing unit adjacent to the Emergency Department. It also included eight additional ER rapid medical exam/triage rooms, and a second CT scanner. Shelling out several more surgical suites and enhancements to the emergency entrance and lobby areas were included. On July 24, 2020, the observation nursing unit opened for patient care.
