Pennsylvania hospital plans $60 million expansion

Lancaster General Hospital's new patient tower, which would add six stories to the current two-story building


Lancaster County’s (Pa.) largest healthcare provider is planning a six-story, $60 million expansion of its flagship facility, Lancaster General Hospital, according to an article on Lancaster Online.

The expansion would enable the hospital to offer all private patient rooms.

The new patient tower, which would add six stories to the current two-story building, would contain 60 new private inpatient rooms and space for an additional 80 rooms for future use as demand requires. 

As these rooms become available to patients, the current 71 semi-private rooms in other hospital buildings would be converted to private rooms or other facilities.
