“With our new east expansion in service, we are able to provide a higher level of patient privacy, comfort and total experience,” said CEO Jason Merkley. “We’re able to give patients easy, direct access to outpatient care services like imaging procedures and same-day surgery. We’ve also increased our capacity, added amenities and accommodations for families and visitors, and increased efficiency in our staffing model in order to spend more time on patient care.”
The expansion took 16 months of construction. It features private patient transport corridors separated from public hallways; 12 private same-day surgery rooms near three operating room suites and two procedure rooms; and a private family consultation room. Obstetrics increased from three to five labor, delivery, recovery and postpartum suites and includes a private patient elevator with direct access to the OR for emergency caesarean deliveries. There are 24 private inpatient rooms, each with its own private bathroom and shower.
