Baptist Medical Center and Wolfson Children’s Hospital ceremonially broke ground Sept. 17 on their emergency department expansion on the Downtown Southbank.
Michael Mayo, president and CEO of Baptist Health, expects the two emergency rooms – separate facilities for children and adult care – to be completed in 18 to 24 months.
The emergency department addition and renovation is on a 17-acre parcel on the Baptist campus at 800 Prudential Drive. The city approved a permit in August for the expansion at project cost of $187.38 million.
