Project Platinum, a $113 million renovation of the facility completed in 2010, features the latest healthcare design and innovations, including a new intensive care unit, new operating suites, expanded emergency and radiology departments, additional parking areas and a new grand entrance drive and bridge to provide improved hospital access.
