# Shenandoah Medical Center Gets Iowa CON Approval for $20M Expansion

*[Shenandoah Medical Center](https://app.clinicalterminal.com/hospital/346340) has received certificate of need (CON) approval to begin construction on a nearly $20 million expansion and renovation project in Shenandoah, Iowa, according to Radio Iowa.*

The first phase will create new ambulance service space, including three additional ambulance bays and a training center for emergency medical technicians. Relocating the ambulance bays will also allow the hospital to expand its imaging department to accommodate a permanent MRI machine.

Later phases will increase labor and delivery space and add a new pharmacy, inpatient rehabilitation area, and bariatric inpatient room.
