Cordele, Ga.-based Crisp County Regional Hospital will soon finish an $800,000 renovation of its oncology unit, according to the Cordele Dispatch.
The renovation project, which began in August, includes reorganizing the flow of traffic to increase patient privacy and expanding existing space.
Hospital officials deemed the renovations "greatly needed" to increase patient privacy.
"You could walk in and patients would be in the waiting area and if you walked back in the infusion area where they were getting their treatments they were just stacked on top of one another," Brooke Marshall, Crisp Region Health Services' community relations director, told the Cordele Dispatch. "There was no privacy and we see a ton of cancer patients."
