ER Move



ER Moving Day has been set! To allow for renovation of our existing emergency room, the hospital will relocate its ER to a different space within the hospital. Patients will begin receiving care in this new location on Wednesday, May 11.

The interim ER will be located on the north side of the hospital, near the helipad and employee parking lot. The emergency entrance for both walk-in and ambulance patients will be at this location. Special parking spaces will be designated for the public.

Renovations to the ER are expected to take about 18 months. When finished, the area will have more treatment areas, allowing for providers to care for more patients at any given time. The project will also enhance patient privacy and allow for better patient monitoring and safety.
