Construction crews are working on various stages throughout the new building including installation of HVAC piping, rough-in for electrical and plumbing and medical gas, laying exterior brick, installation of exterior windows and enclosing the building, all which are scheduled to be completed by the end of May.

- New 30-bed orthopaedic nursing unit, featuring all private patient rooms, and a new 27-bed adult inpatient nursing unit, with private rooms.
- New surgery department, complete with six state-of-the-art operating suites and a central sterilization department.
- New 8-bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
- Expanded and renovated laboratory services.
- Expanded PromptMed urgent care services and development of Emergency Services.
- A three-story lobby and atrium that includes a comfortable waiting area; rooftop gardens; coffee shop and gift shop.
- New medical office building housing the Center for Hip & Knee Surgery, expanded physical therapy department, patient education department and other outpatient ancillary services.
“We are proud to be an active partner in the community and to continue to provide high quality patient care,” said Larry Heydon, Executive Director of St. Francis Hospital – Mooresville. “This project is an investment into the local area and will allow residents to receive additional high-quality services close to home.”
