Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital has received a $6 million donation from the Christy-Houston Foundation to be used for hospital expansions currently underway. The hospital recently began construction to expand the emergency department by adding a Clinical Decision Unit and announced a vertical expansion plan to add 72 medical patient beds. The gift from the Christy-Houston Foundation launches a 2018 fundraising campaign with the goal of supplementing the services provided by the upcoming hospital expansions.
