The 2nd floor of the East Tower was installed and columns up to the 3rd floor are in the process of being installed.  In addition, the 2nd floor of the North Tower has seen progress with rebar, plumbing, HVAC and the installation of electrical sleeves.  The existing brick wall has been removed to make way for the North Tower to be built upon the existing structure.  The forms are being installed on the roof of the new North Tower lab area.

You can check out the progress at your own convenience by going to our live web cam.

The $34 million dollar facility expansion project will result in 96 additional hospital beds for Bartlett and the surrounding area.  The expansion will allow Saint Francis Hospital-Bartlett to double their current total of ICU beds and surgical suites.  In addition, ancillary services such as pharmacy and laboratory will be relocated and expanded.  Finally, with the addition of more than 83,000 square feet, Saint Francis-Bartlett will have space available to expand service lines to serve the growing needs of the community.
