The medical pavilion connects to the St. Michael Medical Center via a skybridge and includes 96 exam rooms, 21 procedure and treatment rooms, and 10 specialty care services, including cardiology, endocrinology, infectious disease, neurosurgery, pulmonary and sleep medicine, urology, and vascular surgery.
The acute care hospital also houses a Level III trauma center with 56-bay emergency department and rooftop helipad; 248 inpatient beds, including 144 new critical and acute beds; nine new operating rooms; an expanded stroke and heart care with four catheterization/electrophysiology suites and new heart and imaging systems; 22-room imaging center; birth center and Level II special care nursery; and surgical, orthopedic, and rehabilitation services.
