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 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
