Falls City breaks ground on new $21 million hospital
FALLS CITY — Falls City has broken ground on a new hospital that Mayor Rod Vandeberg calls the greatest project ever undertaken in the town.
Vandeberg says the $21 million hospital is expected to have tremendous economic impact for the city.
The hospital is replacing another facility that was built in 1918, with additions over the years. That includes a physician’s clinic in the 1990s.
Officials say that the cost of upgrading the old facility were close to the cost of building a new one.
Officials complain the current facility is cramped and doesn’t offer as much privacy as it should in specialty clinics.
