Upgrades the facility will see include:

- Increasing square footage from 7,500 square feet to 9,300 square feet

- Becoming directly accessible for patient-drop off through its own entrance

- Have access to natural light on all exterior walls

- Outdoor canopy installed to allow patients and families to practice transferring in and out of the vehicle while supervised

- More specialized equipment supporting the recovery process

The construction is expected to wrap by October.
