Funding for a large expansion of Hilo Medical Center is included in the final version of a state budget bill. House Bill 300 allocates $50 million toward the first phase of HMC's expansion project, which will increase the patient capacities of the Intensive Care Unit and the Patient Care Unit. The number of ICU beds will rise from 11 to 30, and the number of PCU beds will increase from 15 to 51. Both units will be located in a new three-story structure to be built above the current physician and visitor parking area that is adjacent to the hospital.
