Bluffton Hospital construction update for the week of June 28 has been announced.

Contractors will be laying block foundation and plumbing for the new surgery area near the corner of Garau and Harmon Road.

The fine grade of the new parking lot at Harmon Road and Kibler Street will be completed.

Weather permitting, concrete pour may begin for the new Harmon Road/Kibler Street parking lot later this week. This will make some areas of the Harmon Road parking lot unavailable.
