Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford hosted a "topping out" ceremony Friday to celebrate as the final steel beam is raised to the top of Tennessee’s first neighborhood hospital.

Located on Veterans Parkway off Interstate 840 in Murfreesboro, Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Westlawn Hospital is expected to open in early 2023.

Spectators watch as the last steel beam was hoisted into position during the Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Westlawn Topping-Out Ceremony, in Rutherford County, on Friday, June 3, 2022.

The anticipated satellite of the main hospital campus will improve access to care for members of Murfreesboro's Westlawn and Blackman communities. Residents of some rural parts of Rutherford County will also benefit from care closer to home.

The 32,000-square-foot micro-hospital will have eight private inpatient medical beds and an emergency department with eight treatment rooms. Additionally, the facility will offer diagnostic imaging, laboratory services, and outpatient services.
