The 2,200-square-foot heart center will offer diagnostic testing, such as stress tests and nuclear stress tests, which were previously unavailable, according to the report. The center will be staffed by cardiologists from Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center in Winston-Salem, N.C. as part of the hospitals’ partnership.
The ED expansion added 10 patient rooms and a new entrance and reception area. The hospital will also renovate the old ED to bring the total number of rooms to 29. The completed project will feature a 17,100-square-foot ED — more than twice the space of the old ED. The ED was originally built to accommodate roughly 40 people daily. By May, however, the ED’s daily volume was more than 100 people per day.
