The city of New Orleans has agreed to pay a national medical corporation $16.25 million for thevacant Methodist Hospital building, with Mayor Mitch Landrieu promising to redevelop property into an 80-bed public hospital that would be the first to open east of the Industrial Canal since Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
Administration officials say the city is currently negotiating with potential operators for a new hospital, with plans to open an emergency department within a year and complete a full renovation some time in 2013 for a population base now at 77,000 and projected to be 105,000 by 2014.
