CAPE GIRARDEAU, Mo. (KFVS) - SoutheastHEALTH celebrated a large renovation project with a ribbon cutting.

The ceremony on Thursday morning, September 28, recognized the efforts in completing a sweeping renovation of the 1708 Lacey Street multi-use facility located directly across from the hospital.

SoutheastHEALTH said the 1708 Lacey facility is undergoing $50 million in renovations, which include the Emergency Services Department and conversion of semi-private rooms to private rooms within the hospital.
