Park Ridge Hospital announces the groundbreaking ceremony for its new
Women's Center and the expansion of existing services on April 8th.
The proposed project includes 50,304 square feet of new construction and 28,402 square feet of renovation, and will reconfigure, enlarge, and modernize specific departments to enhance patient satisfaction. Plans call for expansion of
the Baby Place (Obstetrics and Women’s Services) from the existing 7,652 square feet to 20,320 square feet. The Day Surgery area expansion plans will increase that department from 1,400 square feet to 6,000 square feet. “Park Ridge Hospital has enjoyed tremendous increase in utilization of these services, and is responding to the growth and needs of our community”, explained Bruce Bergherm, Vice President of Business Development for Park Ridge Hospital. “Essentially
the expansion offers Park Ridge Hospital the opportunity to expand certain departments (such as the Laboratory) and to enlarge existing patient rooms, and to add a dedicated operating room for C-Sections”.
