A look at the new tower at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast

0

Current in Fishers took a hard-hat tour of the construction site for a new expansion at St.Vincent Medical Center Northeast last week.

Before grabbing hard hats, safety glasses and neon safety vests, we sat down to get the scoop on the new wing with Administrator Gary Fammartino.

Fammartino said the intent was always to add a hospital to the location.

The expansion will include 50 new beds spread across different types of services and focuses.

It’s an expansion of general medical, OBGYN and surgical services.

Fammartino said that a pregnant woman will deliver and recover in the same room – as 10 of the 50 beds are dedicated specifically to delivery.

He said the price tag for the project is set at $49 million and will result in 200 new jobs at the location.

“It’s the right time for a general hospital to be a focus for Fishers, because in Fishers alone there’s about 80,000 (people), not to mention the surrounding communities that see this as a great location,” Fammartino said.

He said the location will be the first LEED certified healthcare organization in the state.

The addition opens on Apr. 8, 2013.
