New: Sept. 25, 4:18 p.m.
Bring questions about the planned Issaquah Highlands hospital campus to a question-and-answer session with Swedish Medical Center officials.
The session is from 5-6:30 p.m. Oct. 19 at Sammamish City Hall.
During the first phase of construction, crews will build the office building and outpatient center. Hospital executives said the initial phase would open in summer 2011. A second phase with 80 hospital beds is scheduled to open in the first quarter of 2012. The second phase will eventually expand to 175 beds. The campus will rise at the southwestern corner of Highlands Drive Northeast and Ninth Avenue Northeast. The new hospital will offer inpatient and outpatient services, including oncology, cardiac care, obstetrics, pediatrics, neurosciences and intensive care.
Hurdles exist for the planned hospital campus. Rival Overlake Hospital Medical Center filed a lawsuit in Thurston County Superior Court June 1 against the state Department of Health, in order to slow construction of the new Swedish hospital.
