MMH will invest $115 million in phase one of the project
(BATESVILLE, Ind.) -- Margaret Mary Health will begin construction on a new hospital in 2024.
It will be located adjacent to the Margaret Mary Physician Center and Margaret Mary Outpatient and Cancer Center on State Road 229 just north of I-74.
The current hospital on Mitchell Avenue was built in 1932 and officials say the new facility will allow for improved operational efficiencies, including expanded surgical capabilities, energy efficient construction and upgraded workflows.
MMH President Liz Leising says the new hospital will be designed to meet the future needs of the community.
“As the delivery of health care shifts from managing illness to promoting and supporting wellness, the development of an innovative health and wellness campus becomes a critical need. Building a new state-of-the-art hospital is the first step in our vision and will serve as the anchor for developing a campus that will help transform our community into a healthier place to live," Leising said.
MMH will invest $115 million in phase one of the campus expansion, which includes construction of the replacement hospital, expanded walking trails and green spaces to promote community wellness.
Construction is scheduled to begin next spring and should take approximately two years to complete.
