ALEXANDRIA, La. -- Rapides Regional Medical Center is expected to begin construction next week on a $12.5 million expansion of its emergency department.
The Town Talk reports (http://townta.lk/1zJJnrl ) the expansion will nearly double the department beds, from 26 to 51, including four psych beds. It will add 16,370 square feet of space and renovate more than 6,000 of the department's current 20,000 square feet.
Rapides Regional Chief Executive Officer Jason Cobb says construction is scheduled to begin Tuesday and take about 18 months, with expected completion in early 2016.
Rapides Regional officials said construction will take place in three phases to minimize impact on patients.
