Dignity Mercy Southwest
Mercy Hospitals has served Kern County for over a century. The Thomas M. Hardt Tower is their newest investment in this growing community.
The four-story patient tower and renovation bring more beds and expanded services to area families.
The 4 story, gound-up project includes:
106 private rooms, 24 ICU beds, 18 NICU Suites, 6 additional ORs, Expanded Emergency and Surgery Services, new Helipad and CUP. New entry lobby with registration areas and waiting, a new commercial kitchen and cafeteria / multipurpose gathering space.
Building on an active hospital campus means keeping operations running and protecting the patient experience every step of the way.
