Visitors, patients and employees will be directed to enter the hospital through Orchard Village Drive to access the Emergency Department.

The $151 million patient tower is set to open in 2019 and will add 141 patient beds, private rooms, medical/surgical rooms, a Women’s Services Unit, an updated kitchen and café, an outdoor dining area and a rooftop helipad.

“For over 40 years, Henry Mayo has been on a journey to provide outstanding patient care for our community,” said Don Kimball, chairman of the Henry Mayo Board of Directors, at the patient tower’s groundbreaking ceremony in October.  “This new tower will allow us to expand our healthcare services and provide an even better experience for our patients.”
