When finished, the medical center will have a completely new Hybrid OR suite and an expanded PACU and surgery support space.  Collaborated with the design group team to establish a scope of work that will fit into the approved budget. Preliminary project budget is $7.2 million. A spring 2013 construction start date has been set.
