For the most part, the expansion of Carilion in to the Crystal Spring Tower still under construction is really an upgrade, as the bed count overall doesn’t increase. But ER Senior Director Wrenn Brendel tells us she gets to keep the former ER area as well as the new one at the tower – so it is an expansion for the Emergency Department.
The Carilion Crystal Spring Tower is expected to be completed in full sometime this summer. See a video from our recent media hard hat tour of the expansion project on the link below.
