Portneuf Medical Center in Pocatello Celebrates Grand Opening
The new 353,000-sq-ft Portneuf Medical Center, located in Pocatello, Idaho, and being lauded by some as �the jewel of the Gem State,� celebrated its grand opening at the end of April. A hospital official said that close to 14,000 people celebrated the opening by taking tours of the new medical center.
The project involved a complete campus expansion to the existing Portneuf Medical Center, essentially creating a new hospital that brings the highest level of health-care services to Pocatello, paralleling the growth of the area and keeping pace with advances in health-care technologies. The new medical center includes a six-story patient tower, along with a helipad and attached hangar.
