The East Wing was added in 1960 for $1.7 million, funded by the Hill–Burton Act, bringing the total number of beds to 160. [2] [4] Nearly $200,000 more was granted by the act in 1965 for a new diagnostic and treatment center. [5] A child dental clinic and intensive care, coronary, and cancer units were also added in the 1960s. [2]

In the 1970s, a cardiovascular lab, a linear particle accelerator, an open heart surgery unit, a pediatrics building, and a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) were added. A child development center opened in the 1980s, along with digital angiography, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and alcohol treatment centers. [2]

The new addition on the north side was completed in the 1990s. A library was also built. By 1998, the hospital had grown to 305 beds and 506,000 square feet (47,000 m2). [2]
