St Luke's expands ICU and adolescent unit in Iowa hospital
Wallace stated the plan relocates existing hospital services rather than adding beds, built over the current roof near the east end. Cost is 3.32 million funded by revenue bonds, with operating funds from patient revenues. Groundbreaking occurred in November and occupancy is projected for mid October. The ICU, first built in 1966, saw 2,918 days of ICU care from 25 counties last year. The new adolescent psychiatric unit, replacing a 1950 area, will include a kitchen, counseling, and brighter furnishings. St Luke's is the region's only Eastern Iowa hospital with a dedicated adolescent psychiatry unit, which logged 3,031 days of care in 1986 for ages 8 to 18 from 25 counties.
