The new imaging and laboratory departments will house two X-ray rooms, new nuclear medicine and lab facilities, and equipment including a new CT scanner and MRI.
The critical care department is designed with larger rooms to accommodate family members and efficient staff workflow.
Weigand Construction has been selected as the general contractor for the project, the hospital reported.
All the facilities are expected to be operational by the end of 2011.
