St. Luke’s Plans for $400 million Expansion Underway in Boise

BOISE, Idaho (AP) — St. Luke's Boise Medical Center is planning an expansion that will cost up to $400 million.

The Idaho Statesman reports (http://bit.ly/1xoNV5A) in a story on Monday that St. Luke's submitted its final plan to the city last month. The plan includes a new pediatric facility linked to the children's hospital with a sky bridge, expansion of the children's hospital, and expansion and remodeling of the existing hospital.

Plans also include closing part of Jefferson Street and putting a roundabout at Fort and Reserve streets. Various city and county entities will now hold public hearings to consider the plan.
