HIGHLAND HOSPITAL'S MODERNIZATION PROJECT
Highland’s new patient tower project is a modernization effort that will enable the hospital to provide private rooms for nearly all of our patients.
The COVID-19 global pandemic has helped highlight that private rooms are critical for patient care. They provide many benefits, including a reduced risk of infections, more space for patient needs, and the positive therapeutic impact of more privacy and less noise during recovery. Private rooms are becoming a standard of care for hospitals nationwide.
This patient tower will add to the existing hospital campus without the hospital having to expand its footprint. It will add four levels plus a mechanical penthouse to the hospital’s southeast wing. Three of the floors will house a total of 58 patient rooms and one floor will house other clinical programs.
It is imperative that Highland Hospital continue to modernize our facility to provide the highest-quality patient- and family-centered care, now and into the future. We are excited about what this project will mean for the future of serving our community.
