Our $54 million expansion project was necessitated by phenomenal growth in Monroe County and includes a new four-story wing with 100,000 square feet of additional space which houses a 41-bed Emergency Department, 10 state-of-the-art surgical suites, a 24-bed Ambulatory Surgery Center, and an improved Diagnostic Imaging facility. The centerpiece of the facility is the new ESSA Heart and Vascular Institute. Construction is underway for the new Dale amp; Frances Hughes Cancer Center.
