Bon Secours Hampton Roads CEO Michael Kerner, left, shakes hands with Norfolk Mayor Paul Fraim after he signed the letter of support for a proposed 124-bed Bon Secours DePaul Medical Center. Bon Secours Virginia has agreed to amend an earlier proposal to the state and is requesting permission to build a new facility to replace the current DePaul Medical Center. The new facility will include 88 medical-surgical beds, 20 obstetric beds and 16 intensive care beds. There will also be upgrades to DePaul’s emergency room and patient rooms as a means to improve current conditions while the new hospital, scheduled to open in 2013, is built on the same campus.
