    • St. Rose Dominican Hospitals has announced plans to build a five-story hospital tower and four-story parking garage on its Siena campus. Plans also call for existing areas of the hospital to be expanded and remodeled to enhance patient privacy and comfort. Rod A. Davis, president and CEO of St. Rose Dominican Hospitals and senior vice president of operations of Dignity Health Nevada, said the expansion is a reaction to community growth, which has created a shortage of hospital beds in the Henderson area in recent years. The tower will cost approximately $156 million and offer some of the most advanced medical amenities available, St. Rose officials said. When completed, it will add almost 100 private rooms to the Siena campus, in addition to 72 adult medical and surgical unit beds, 24 Intensive Care Unit beds, 11 neonatal ICU beds, 32 emergency room and observation bays and six operating suites. The parking garage will add almost 500 parking spaces. Tower construction is scheduled to begin in April and is expected to be completed by June 2015. Garage construction will begin in August and is expected to be completed by April. About 700 new jobs are expected to be generated when the tower is fully operational. The Siena Campus employs about 1,500 people.
