Bond proceeds will reimburse Union Regional for prior expenditures and take out pooled debt that has been used to advance construction. The new outpatient diagnostic and treatment center, adjacent to the hospital, includes a cancer center set to open this October. Renovation of the hospital's acute care facility is expected to reach completion in May 2003.
