The unlikely star of the pavilion build? A blinged-out construction crane
The crane supporting ARRMC’s “big build” of the new patient pavilion sustained heavy winds during last month’s storms, but on calm nights its colored lights serve as a beacon for Asante’s growth.

Maxim Crane Works crews erected a 205-foot crane in driving rain earlier this week at the construction site for Asante Rogue Regional Medical Center’s new pavilion. This sped-up video shows them raising the cab to sit on the crane at 165 feet.
