Memorial Completes $318 Million Expansion

It’s seven stories high and comes with an $85 million dollar price tag.

Charlie Arant, Board Chair, with Memorial Health Care System, says, "It’s an unbelievable investment in our Chattanooga Community. I mean this is a multi-million dollar facility."

This completes Memorial Care System’s whopping $318 million dollar expansion project.

One healthcare provider we spoke with says, "This is really a dream come true for the Chattanooga Heart Institute."

Other local doctors tell us it’s much needed because Tennessee ranks 6th in the nation when it comes to heart disease related deaths.

Local doctors says, "Our dream is to prevent many of those early deaths with comprehensive programs."

Healthcare leaders here at Memorial say the design of the building will also provide for emotional and spiritual healing.

That’s why there are 4 stained glass windows and a healing garden.

They will all officially open on June 28th.

The new heart and vascular center is on De Sales Avenue in Chattanooga.
