The new emergency room on the first floor includes 39 exam rooms, 6 trauma rooms, 5 behavioral health rooms, and 5 triage rooms.  Two ICU floors will include 32 inpatient rooms on each floor.  In addition, a two-level, 550-car parking garage will connect to the new building.  Northstar is also providing medical equipment planning services on this project.
