The expansion includes new operating rooms, an expanded neonatal intensive-care unit, more private rooms in the birth center, added catheterization labs, a parking ramp and a skywalk. All of this should be completed in April 2002. Other major plans for Genesis include a bigger medical presence in the Illinois Quad-Cities. Genesis has purchased 32 acres of land near 41st Street and 26th Avenue where it expects to develop eight buildings, that may include a women s health center, radiology labs and doctors offices.
Trinity has equally large plans, and also is crossing the river.
Plans call for the full-service hospital to open in early 2003 off Utica Ridge and Crow Creek roads. North Campus, Davenport. It also is the umbrella for numerous clinics and healthcare operations. Trinity established an open-heart surgery program at this location in 1999, offering closer access for patients in Rock Island, Henry and Mercer counties.
