Rendering of Williamson Medical Center's planned West Tower

Williamson Medical Center is planning a $189 million expansion that will add more than 60 new beds to the hospital in its first large-scale expansion since 2003.

The expansion and remodel is slated to begin in spring 2022, and construction should be finished by 2024, according to a release from WMC. The project will expand ER capacity from 28 to 44, add a behavioral health pod, expand obstetrics from 28 beds to 34, add additional floors to the hospital's West Tower and renovate patient rooms in the Main Tower.
