Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital on Bremo Road in Henrico has broken ground on a $370 million expansion. The 200,000-square-foot Critical Care Tower will feature all-private patient rooms, state-of-the-art operating suites, a new and expanded Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), cardiac ICU and neuro ICU to better meet the needs of Richmond’s growing and aging population. Once the eight-story tower opens in 2028, about 90,000 square feet of existing hospital spaces will be renovated the following year.

After nine years in business, Sarabeth Hagen, owner of the popular restaurant SB’s Lakeside Love Shack, is turning to the community in a “hail Mary” effort to keep its doors open. Citing daily struggles from equipment failures, plumbing and electrical problems, rising utility and food expenses, tax penalties and unexpected closures due to extreme weather and infrastructure issues, Hagen says she’s “embarrassed, humbled, and overwhelmed” to ask for help but believes the GoFundMe can “help keep your Love Shack alive.” Hagen said that community support would help the restaurant repair and replace essential equipment such as its failing hood vent system; permanently upgrade outdated electrical and plumbing systems; pay off tax debts, penalties, and fees; and help keep staff members employed. As of Oct. 13, the fundraiser had generated more than $24,400 toward a goal of $56,000.

Global investment firm Platinum Equity recently announced that it has agreed to a $375-million purchase of the Products and Healthcare Services segment of Glen Allen-based Owens and Minor, which will retain a 5% ownership stake in the business following the sale. Owens and Minor's P&HS segment is a distribution platform that serves hospitals, health systems and other healthcare providers nationwide. The division is a leading supplier of medical and surgical products for the acute care market. The move signals a major shift in Owens and Minor's operations; the company is pivoting from what had been its core function for decades to a narrower focus on serving the home-based care market through its Patient Direct platform.
