Loma Linda University Medical Center celebrated the Topping Off Ceremony for its new hospital tower on Dec. 11 with several hundred administrators, employees, construction workers and community members watching as the ceremonial final steel beam was put in place.
The topping-off of the tower is the latest milestone toward completion of the new Loma Linda University Medical Center and Loma Linda University Children’s Hospital facilities.
“We’ve planned for a new Loma Linda University Medical Center and Children’s Hospital tower for many years,” Kerry Heinrich, CEO of Loma Linda University Medical Center, said in an address to attendees at the ceremony. “While there is still much to do before this project is complete, this Topping Off Ceremony brings us one giant leap closer to that reality.”
