The Lubbock, Texas-based hospital temporarily halted construction of the six-story tower in June 2020 to reduce operating expenses and protect caregiver jobs.
The 220,000-square-foot inpatient facility will be used to treat spine, cranial neurosurgery and complex orthopedic trauma patients, according to a news release. It will add 150 beds to Covenant Medical Center.
Construction of the facility is expected to take about two years to complete.
At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
