St. Vincent's One Nineteen had a few reasons to celebrate at this weekend's block party.
"Today is especially special because it's the 10th year anniversary [of St. Vincent's One Nineteen] and a celebration of our new addition," said Neeysa Biddle, senior vice president, Ascension Health and Birmingham Market Executive.
St. Vincent's expansion will allow more room for surgery, urgent care and additional doctors. Block party attendees had the chance to sign expansion beams which will be on display when the expansion is completed.
Biddle said the project shows St. Vincent's dedication to health as well as healthcare.
"This facility shows our move toward healthier communities in Shelby County," Biddle said.
The block party included hot air balloon rides, an inflatable obstacle course, face painting and live music by Act of Congress. There were also food trucks and stands from Jim N Nicks BBQ, Cantina and Kona Ice.
In order to promote health and wellness, St. Vincent's also offered free blood pressure, cholesterol and glucose, and hearing and vision screenings.
