Welliver performed as the general contractor for the fit out of the first level shell space as well as MEP work on the second level of the Heart and Vascular Center. The renovations include Interventional Radiology Procedural space comprised of one Structural Heart Lab, one Cardiac Catheterization Lab, and one Electrophysiology Lab. These renovations allow the Cardiovascular service line at Robert Packer Hospital to better meet the needs of staff, patients, and their families.
