The beds were added to the two top floors of Good Samaritan Hospital’s Dally Tower. The seventh floor will house 40 new beds in its postsurgical care unit. The eighth floor will have 40 beds in a progressive care unit, where patients go after staying in the intensive care unit before they are well enough to return home.
“These new beds will help us keep up with the demand from the community to take care of the patients that need this care so badly,” Lescia Myers, RN, clinical care director at Good Samaritan, told The News Tribune.
Construction of the hospital’s Dally Tower was completed in 2011. The two top floors were left vacant until the hospital needed more beds.
