The groundbreaking was at 2 p.m. Wednesday.
Leaders from the Holland Hospital organization shared remarks before the ceremonial groundbreaking, which was followed by a reception.
"As this area continues to grow, we wanted to kind of offer new and contemporary building here to service people," Patti VanDort, Holland Hospital's president, said. "We're excited about this new facility which will be significantly bigger than the building we've been in before but still providing the same great access to local, high-quality care."
