After two and a half years of work, Mount Carmel St. Ann’s hospital will unveil the full extent of its major renovation in early January.
The $110 million improvement project is expected to be finished in early January.
Hospital leaders believe the $110 million improvement project, which is the largest in its history, will transform St. Ann’s into a regional medical center.
Additional facilities, phased in over the course of the project, include:
-A 136,000-square-foot patient tower with 60 beds, offering orthopedic, neurosurgery and spine inpatient care;
-A three-story parking garage;
-Four new operating rooms that allow St. Ann’s to offer open-heart surgery;
-The Bryden Bistro, a dining area with an expanded menu and late-night service for patients; and
-The Grand Entrance, a main entrance to the hospital, complete with a statue of the hospital’s namesake created by central Ohio artist Nina Menduni.
A grand opening ceremony and blessing by Bishop Frederick Campbell of the Catholic Diocese of Columbus took place in early December.
