A few members of the Highland and LeChase teams got the rare chance to climb a tower crane on Highland’s campus this week. The 220 ft. crane is being used to build the new patient tower that will enable the hospital to provide private rooms for nearly all of our patients. The project will add four levels plus a mechanical penthouse to the hospital’s southeast wing – three of the floors will house a total of 58 patient rooms and one floor will house other clinical programs. It’s expected to be finished in the spring of 2023. #towerclimb
