The expansion will help the small, rural hospital meet the demands of an increasing patient population in the ER, according to Calhoun Liberty’s ER Manager Esther Stoltzfus.
“In the year and a half that I’ve been here, we’ve gotten very busy in the ER,” she told WSFU News. “We average about 1,000 patients a month. Our little ER is eight beds.”
Calhoun Liberty was built in 1960 and doubled as a bomb shelter. Since then, the hospital has received few renovations, according to the report.
