The St. Anthony Summit Medical Center (SMC) hospital, now in the final stage of construction, is scheduled to open its doors to patients December 5.
The scheduled December opening will be the culmination of three years of planning, one year of design, more than a year of construction and the cooperation of myriad public and private entities.
The 25-bed, 100,000-square-foot hospital will increase the medical services available locally, including emergency services, which will double in capacity and upgrade to Level III trauma designation from the existing SMC emergency department’s Level IV.
The existing SMC employs about 80 workers, a staff that will grow to 120 by the time the hospital opens. SMC will begin advertising for the 30-40 new positions this week.
