Completed Projects
NICU is complete! Within the first week, we had four babies in the NICU. We have dropped down to 34 weeks while physicians, providers, and staff can get acquainted with the new area. Next we will drop down to 33 weeks, and finally 32 weeks when physicians, providers, and staff are ready.
Parking lot repair from winter storm damage has been completed.
Current Projects
OR project has been delayed by three weeks and will continue through 2018.
Physician Lounge is still in the temporary location and will remain there until the area is no longer needed as a construction entrance for the OR project.
Endovascular Lab has broken ground! Construction is estimated to be complete April 2018, equipment installation complete May 2018, and go-live is estimated to be July 2018.
Pharmacy construction is still on time for updating to current regulation standards regarding enclosed space for medication preparation and pressurization.
Upcoming Projects
Expansion of the Behavioral Health Unit continues to be a strategic priority. We are actively pursuing expansion strategies to meet the growing demand for adult and adolescent behavioral health services in our community.
Facility Parking Reminder
In an effort to be a good community leader, we have asked all employees parked on the street around the facility — specifically on Logan Street across from the ER and across from Kaley — to begin parking in the appropriate employee parking areas per the employee parking policy.
