Leopardo Construction Breaks Ground on Hospital Modernization Project

Leopardo Construction recently broke ground on a hospital modernization project for HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital in Decatur, Illinois, aimed at improving building infrastructure and enhancing access to emergency care.

“We are excited and proud to be a part of the team that will help evolve the exceptional patient care HSHS values for the entire community” said Leopardo Senior Project Manager Jorge Velasco.

The project will feature the construction of state-of-the-art surgery suites and modern patient rooms, as well as redesigned clinical spaces to enhance efficiency, and various improvements to other service areas.

“Through this modernization project, we are re-imagining our physical environment, both internally and externally, to evolve how we deliver care to our patients and how we improve workflows for our dedicated colleagues,” said Matt Fry, HSHS Central Market President and CEO. “All to continue our Mission of service to Decatur and the surrounding communities for years to come.”

Leopardo is working closely with HSHS St. Mary’s Hospital and design firm Berners Schober to complete the project by late 2027.
