Two hospital systems plan ER projects in Fairview, mayor says

Mayor Lisa Anderson announced that two hospital systems have chosen Fairview as the site for new emergency-room facilities, a move she said will reduce lengthy drives to the nearest hospital. Anderson named Ascension Saint Thomas and TriStar Horizon as the systems making the investments and said each project represents more than $20 million in local development. "We are so excited that Ascension Saint Thomas and TriStar Horizon have chosen Fairview to locate over $20,000,000 each 1 of these different projects," Anderson said, and added the projects will help ensure more timely care for residents who currently face roughly 40-minute drives to acute care.
