The hospital
The primary source of information for this project as it continues to take shape is the hospital itself: http://mvhealthsystem.org/new-beginning
Also on the “New Beginning” page of the MVHS website is a link to a “Frequently Asked Questions” document, an explanation of “Benefits and Costs for the New Hospital,” and a presentation describing the process that led to the completed exterior design of the project.
