Palms West Hospital and the Children’s Hospital at Palms West received funding for a $16 million expansion project that will increase the capacity of the hospital from 165 to 196 operational beds. The vertical expansion project will add a fourth floor to the east tower and increase the capacity of the Adult Medical/Surgical Department, Adult Intensive Care Unit, Pediatrics, Pediatric Intensive Care Unit, and the Laboratory.
Over the next few months, the hospital will finalize its plans with architects and the Agency for Healthcare Administration. Once construction commences, the overall project will take approximately 18-24 months. The expansion will allow Palms West Hospital and the Children’s Hospital at Palms West to continue its mission of providing our community with safe, efficient, compassionate healthcare of the highest quality.
