The expanded Emergency Department will have new layouts featuring:

The facility will also feature upper floors that will serve as a flexible space for future growth, according to a press release from Phelps Health.
Attendees will hear from Phelps Health leaders and have the opportunity to review renderings of the new additions.
The groundbreaking will be held from 4:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Wednesday at the East Entrance of the Phelps Health campus, located at 1000 West 14th Street in Rolla. Guests are asked to park in the Orange Lot.
