New Tower Construction
In our continued effort to expand access to medical care, Henderson Hospital will start constructing a six-floor patient care tower anticipated to open by late 2021. The tower will provide 96 new patient beds when it opens, with an additional 86 beds planned for future growth. This expansion project will help facilitate the growth of several departments, including the Large Vessel Occlusion Program, Neurosurgery, Women’s Services and Digestive Diseases.
