PEMBERTON TWP. – The Deborah Heart and Lung Center needed $ 100 million for an expansion project slated for completion in 2022.

And now the hospital has the money, officials say.

The project will convert Deborah’s double-occupancy inpatient rooms to private suites and add a new inpatient tower with 36 private rooms. When completed, Deborah will increase its capacity from 89 to 95 beds and have all private rooms, hospital officials say.

“Although the project was underway before COVID-19, the pandemic has shown the importance of converting to private rooms for patient care and visitor safety,” said a press release from Deborah.

The expansion will also improve Deborah’s teaching and research facilities by adding new technology to the electrophysiology labs and upgrading the cardiac catheterization labs.

When announcing the $ 88.2 million loan, federal officials said “nearly 800,000 rural residents are in the Deborah service area.”

Deborah aims to launch the project by the summer and complete it by the end of 2022. The project is called Deborah 100 because its completion will coincide with the hospital’s 100th anniversary.
