(July 24, 2024) – Today, New York State Lieutenant Governor Antonio Delgado, along with state and local elected officials, key community influencers, and Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth) leadership, gathered to commemorate the start of construction for the Critical Care Tower at Westchester Medical Center.
The Critical Care Tower at Westchester Medical Center, a $220 million project, will span 162,000 square feet and rise five stories when complete. Adjacent to Westchester Medical Center’s main tower, the Critical Care Tower at Westchester Medical Center will house 128 private, state-of-the-art patient rooms—all equipped with the latest and most advanced medical technologies for intensive care.
Importantly, the Critical Care Tower at Westchester Medical Center will facilitate the conversion of Westchester Medical Center’s entire inpatient service to all-private rooms, enhancing patient privacy and comfort.
