ANNOUNCING ST. JOSEPH’S $25 MILLION MEDICAL CENTER EXPANSION.

CMYK

It’s an exciting time to live in the Brainerd Lakes area. Our community is growing and getting better every day. With that growth, of course, comes an increased need for healthcare services.

Construction scheduled for completion in 2005.

At St. Joseph’s Medical Center, we’re responding to that need by expanding our medical campus— putting $25 million in construction services and material costs into the local economy.And when we’re done, we’ll bring even more jobs to the community. Our 116,000-square-foot expansion and renovation project will bring us to our licensed capacity of 162 beds and increase the number of private rooms, allowing patients and families greater comfort. It will also increase the capacity of our intensive care and progressive care units, and allow us to bring to our area some of the most advanced medical technology available. It’s better care for all of us, and it’s a sign that our community will continue to stay healthy as it grows.
