Osceola Regional Medical Center leadership has announced that the hospital will significantly expand its ability to care for the community through a $50 million expansion which includes a new patient services tower. When complete, the tower will house an additional 64 state-of-the-art private rooms. Twelve of these rooms will be designated for Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients; 20 will be for patients needing an intermediate level of care; and 34 will be designated for Medical/Surgical patients, bringing Osceola Regional's total bed count to 321. The ambitious undertaking adds 107,000 square feet of new space and 20,000 square feet of renovated space to the hospital's existing footprint.
At their regular Board meeting last Monday, Osceola County Commissioners voted unanimously to direct staff to draft an ordinance imposing a 12-month moratorium on the collection of transportation impact fees for all new non-residential construction or expansion.
