An advertisement in this issue of The Express invites area residents to a pre-opening walk through of the new addition from 9 to 12 Saturday morning.
The new addition includes 41,900 square feet of additional space with the top priorities being safety, security and privacy for the hospital’s patients.
The addition relocates the emergency department to the new facility with two dedicated trauma bays and an enclosed ambulance garage,
There are 17 new patient rooms; a new labor and delivery wing including suites and family waiting area; five private infusion suites in the new infusion center” and an added healing garden for patient and public use.
