Sierra Medical Center closing front entrance for remodeling project

Sierra Medical Center is closing its front entrance and front parking lot for about seven months as part of a construction project at the West Central El Paso hospital, 1700 Murchison.

The construction is part of a $120 million remodeling and expansion project, which began last year, for Sierra, Providence Memorial Hospital, and Providence Children's Hospital, Sierra officials reported. The hospitals are owned and operated by Tenet Healthcare Corp., of Dallas.

Sierra's exterior will be revamped, the emergency room redesigned, and improvements made to waiting areas. All rooms will be made private, and a new neuro intensive care unit and new cardiac intensive care unit will be added. Operating rooms have already been revamped.

The front parking lot will close Friday, and the front entrance will close Monday, and reopen in September. People can enter the hospital through the emergency room and admitting department entrances.
