The weather has been the big story this week.  Mother Nature provided us with approximately eight inches of rain.  Despite the inclement conditions, some construction efforts moved forward on our facility expansion.  Wall metal stud framing and the penthouse structural frame work was done in the surgery expansion area.  The East Tower scaffold and form system for the 3rd floor level has commenced.  The North Tower's 2nd floor has had another portion concreted.  Finally, the overbuild area of the North Tower has been prepped and a temporary roof system has been installed.

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
