Work continues on the Lane Regional Medical Center expansion.
In order to begin renovations on the new patient registration and surgery pre-admit areas, the main front entrance and front hallway entrance to Imaging/Lab have been closed, according to Lane Regional Medical Center officials.
Patients and staff are now entering the hospital through the emergency room entrance and can access Imaging/Lab by using the admissions office hallway.
It is anticipated the front entrance will be closed for at least six months.
The chapel will remain closed until renovations are complete on the new chapel. The prayer box has been relocated to the first floor elevator lobby, and the pastor will continue to collect prayers placed in the box on Wednesdays.
Exterior brick work continues on the elevator shafts and stairwells, and almost all upper level windows have been installed.
Drywall and insulation are going up on the third and fourth floors, while framing, electrical, plumbing, lighting, and HVAC duct work begin on second floor.
Once the entire expansion project is completed in 2026, major changes to the hospital will include:
- Four-story patient tower and 37,000 square feet of interior renovations
- 48 new patient rooms with large windows and walk-in showers
- Six additional ICU rooms
- Second floor dedicated to a contemporary surgery department
- Four operating suites equipped with advanced technology
- 15 private pre- and post-surgery patient rooms
- Relocating patient registration and pre-admit areas to front entrance
- New dining room and serving line
- Expanded lab and imaging areas
- UV light technology for purified air throughout the facility
- Modernized front entrance.
Weather permitting, the new patient tower will open December or January. More details and time lapse videos can be found on the Lane website at .
