The new 119,000-square-foot tower is designed to house a women’s center, intensive care unit and inpatient surgery.

The large patient rooms –– almost triple the current space ––will feature flat-screen televisions and large windows.

The second-floor will have an enhanced security process that includes a new baby monitoring system.
