HSHS St. Mary's Hospital - Decatur Future Plans:

In 2023, HSHS entered a new era of healthcare in Decatur. The hospital has begun to implement a modernization plan that features a major infrastructure renovation to update clinical spaces, improve patient room amenities and improve the patient experience. This latest investment, totaling approximately $90 million, will result in the modernization of the clinical space to enable hospital colleagues to continue the Mission of the Hospital Sisters to serve our current patients and future generations. The project is scheduled to be completed in the summer of 2026.

A major part of the modernization plan is four new, state-of-the-art operating rooms that will be substantially larger and designed for better workflow for physicians and nurses. More efficient surgeries mean more access for patients to a variety of surgeries such as ophthalmology with a new state-of-the-art laser, robotic neurosurgery, podiatry, additional ortho and vascular, and others - that all can be done on an outpatient basis so patients can return to their home and community quicker.
