Erlanger East Granted Approval to Begin Full Service Hospital

The State of Tennessee Health Services and Development Agency unanimously approved an extension to complete the expansion of Erlanger East Hospital to a full-service hospital with 107 inpatient beds.

The "certificate of need" allows the Erlanger Health System to complete its $68.7 million expansion project. The phased-in expansion of Erlanger’s Gunbarrel Road campus, expected to be completed by December 2016, will not only feature more inpatient beds, but also an expansion of surgical services, a cardiac catheterization lab, as well as other ancillary and support services.
