| Work Detail | A $53 million expansion and renovation project is expected to start next year at Summerville Medical Center. In phase one of the project, the hospital will add 30 inpatient beds to an extension of the second floor, bringing its total to 124 beds. The $30.9 million first phase will include nearly 26,000 square feet of new construction and 3,252 square feet of renovated space. The second phase, projected to cost $18.79 million, will consolidate and expand labor and delivery services from Trident Medical Center in North Charleston to a new women’s pavilion at Summerville Medical Center. Both of the Trident Health hospitals are owned by Hospital Corp. of America and are located about six miles apart. Summerville Medical Center will add 12 Level II nursery beds, six labor and delivery rooms, six newborn nursery beds, a triage room and a cesarean section procedure room, for a total of 12,119 square feet of new space. Other upgrades include a $560,000 CT scanner and $500,000 of patient monitoring equipment for the hospital’s intensive-care step-down unit, as well as additional medical equipment. “Over the past 23 years, our community has grown at a record pace, and it continues to grow at a record pace as more families and more companies really learn about all the unique qualities that this region has to offer,” Summerville Medical Center CEO Lisa Valentine said. “With that, Summerville Medical Center has grown. We’ve added new services; we’ve increased technologies; we’ve recruited extraordinary physicians — all while ensuring we take care of what’s most important, and that’s our patients.” Summerville and Trident medical centers deliver nearly 3,000 babies a year. The center’s new women’s pavilion will focus on young families and babies, Valentine said. “As a mom, I know that the birth of a child is one of the most important days in our lives. It absolutely is,” she said. “Here in Summerville, we celebrate our families, and we’re dedicated to taking great care of them.” Construction bidding on the 30-bed expansion is expected to start next month and be awarded in October, which would put construction for phase one starting in February. The first phase is expected to be complete in May 2018, and the second phase will follow in February 2019. Trident Medical Center is also undergoing an expansion project expected to cost $13.5 million. The hospital announced in late July that the emergency department will be expanded and renovated; the outpatient services registration area will be remodeled; two new operating rooms will be built; the post-anesthesia care unit will be renovated and expanded; and new CT scan imaging technology will be added. That project is expected to begin later this year or in early 2017; a completion date was not announced. |
