Starting this week, the top two floors of Valley Medical Center’s South Tower will house Neuroscience and Cardiac Telemetry and the Medical-Surgical Center.

The ribbon was cut Nov. 7 to open floors six and seven of the tower, which already houses the medical center’s emergency room.

Neuroscience and Cardiac Telemetry is on the sixth floor  and the Medical-Surgical Center is on the seventh floor.

The tower opened in 2010 and houses the Emergency Department on the third floor, the Critical Care Unit on the fourth floor and the Joint and Spine Center on the fifth floor.

Floors one and two are parking.

The hospital doesn’t yet have plans for the space  previously occupied by the departments that moved, according to Kim Blakeley, a hospital spokesman.
