Ascension St.John planning $16 million expansion in Broken Arrow, Owasso

Ascension St. John announced Friday that it plans expansions at both its Owasso and Broken Arrow hospitals

The investment will allow the healthcare organization to meet the continued needs of these growing communities through access to timely, quality care. In addition, this expansion will help relieve the demand for care at Ascension Medical Center in Tulsa.

Ascension’s expansion includes the addition of 24 acuity-adaptable beds at each hospital. Those beds are designed to support a care model that allows a patient to stay in the same room, regardless of the level of care, until discharged from the hospital. The 48 new beds will allow for up to intermediate levels of care initially.

The buildout will occur within the shell floors of each hospital. This design was incorporated into the master facility plan when the hospitals were opened more than a decade ago.

Construction is expected to be complete in early 2023.
