A new, smaller hospital will replace St. Vincent Hospital in Leadville, Colo., according to an article on The Denver Post website.
St. Vincent closed last year after voters rejected a tax increase to bring the deteriorating facility, which was using space heaters to keep staff and patients warm, into compliance, the article said.
The new, 19,000-square-foot medical center will be built just east of the current St. Vincent.
The state-of-the-art facility will have telehealth capacities and room to accommodate visits from specialists. Construction, estimated to cost $10 million, is expected to start in April and wrap up a year later.
