Legislators making progress on bill to help LewisGale get a NICU

A bill to help bring a neonatal intensive care unit to Salem is moving forward in Richmond.

The Senate passed a bill to approve LewisGale Medical Center’s state application for a certificate of public need.

The state health commissioner has previously denied the application.

A House committee is now discussing the bill.

In a statement to 10 News, a hospital spokesperson said the hospital appreciates the senators’ effort.
