SBRMC approved for $186 million expansion project

South Baldwin Regional Medical Center is finalizing design work for a $186-million dollar project, the largest ever undertaken at the hospital, to expand and modernize facilities. Work on the design, pricing and planning is expected take most of this year, with site work and renovation starting by the end of 2021.
Entry will be through a new main lobby and the new exterior facade (rendering above) and finishes throughout the hospital will reflect the CMS five-star care provided within.
“With today’s approval from the State Health Planning and Development Agency, we can move forward with this project to enhance the patient experience and support our caregivers in their work to provide compassionate, quality care,” said Eric Roach, South Baldwin Regional Medical Center CEO.
Plans include the addition of a 133,433 square foot, four-story patient tower with a new surgical department on the first floor with a new dedicated outpatient entrance. The tower’s second and third floors will contain nursing units, including a new, larger intensive care unit. The future fourth floor shell space can be built out in the future to increase the bed count based on community need.
