( KLZA)-- The Johnson County Hospital in Tecumseh is expanding.
Plans call for the addition of 18,000 square feet of new space and the renovation of 10,000 square feet of space throughout the current facility.
The current outpatient department has reached its capacity for space and there is a need for additional exam rooms for the 21 visiting specialists that travel to Tecumseh to provide services on a monthly basis.
The expansion will include a new surgery suite and clinic entrance lobby and registration area along with 9 new rooms for the specialty clinics.
Private pre- and post-op rooms will also be included.
The 18-bed hospital built in 1958 was recently named one of the Top 100 Critical Access Hospitals in the country.
The expansion project will also allow for the addition of a permanent MRI suite which will replace the mobile unit that currently serves the hospital.
AHRS Construction from Bern, Kansas will serve as the contractor for the project.
