St.John's Hospital will take the wraps off its plans to rebuild a new hospital to replace the one that was destroyed by the tornado that tore threw Joplin on May 22nd.

At  6 p.m. at the Holiday Inn In Joplin, hospital officials will let the public know about their future plans.

Since the 367 bed hospital was destroyed,  St.John's has been operating out of temporary units on the site of the former building.
