CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Presbyterian Hospital is taking medicine to new heights in the Queen City – literally. Construction projects recently kicked off, and the first phase, building a four-floor addition to the top of the existing Presbyterian Cancer Center, is underway.
By late 2010, the hospital will have 90 new patient rooms, 19 cardiac triage rooms, a new endoscopy suite, an expanded Emergency Department and several renovated and relocated departments to promote greater internal efficiency. During this transition period, there will be some important changes that will impact our patients and visitors.
