Stalled until recently, work is restarting on the expansion of the St. Joseph Mercy Saline Hospital Community Health Pavilion.

Parent company Trinity Health put the project on hold in October while corporate officials reviewed non-emergency capital spending projects. At the time, a pause was ordered on all construction.

Trinity Health is spending $7.8 million to add 13,000 square feet to the hospital. The new space will house a clinical laboratory, imaging center and a large community room for educational forums and events. It will also improve access for emergency, surgery and inpatient services.

Work is expected to wrap up this fall.
