December 27, 2019 The spring and summer were busy and much was accomplished since the last update in April. The patient wings opened in June and the Emergency Department and Urgent Care Clinic moved into the new area in November. In just four weeks the new main entrance on Sunrise Drive is expected to open as will the new dining area and cafeteria. There are about 7-8 months left of construction and all are excited to show off the new facility once it's complete.

April 2, 2019 After a long winter, eveyone at River's Edge is happy that spring has arrived. Now that warmer weather is here, there will be a lot more progress made on the construction project. The big news is that the 2 new patient wings will be done at the end of May and the first patients will be admitted in those rooms the first Monday in June. On Monday, April 1, everything was in place for the concrete foundation to be poured in the new Emergency Department on the east side of the campus. In the next week the exterior framing of that department will start and it will begin to look like a real ER.

January 25, 2019 This week another phase of the construction project was completed. The same day surgery department -located in the former physical therapy space - opened to patients on January 21. It's a beautiful space that is quite and features more privacy for our patients. The completion of that phase led to the start of the next phase - endoscopy. Renovation of the former same day surgery space began on January 21. Work is being done inside and outside of the new patient wings. The exterior of the east wing is nearly complete and the exterior of the south wing is complete. Windows are in the south wing with the exception of the inpatient therapy area. Inside, sheet rocking and painting are being done and the wings are staring to look like the drawings. Behind the plastic wrap is the emergency department, ambulance garage and EMS crew quarters. The concrete slab will be poured by the end of January and then exterior framing will start.

December 21, 2018 It's hard to believe that it's the end of the year and so much work has already been done! The exterior finishes are being installed on the south and east patient wings. Rough-ins for plumbing, electric, etc, along with sheet rocking is happening inside the wings. The new Emergency Department will wrapped like a present in order to heat the ground and pour concrete. Same Day Surgery will be open to patients the week of January 21, 2019.

October 30, 2018 Outside the look of the patient wings, the emergency department, ambulance garage, and EMS quarters changes almost daily and much work is near completion. In the south patient wing, the roofing will be complete by Friday and interior framing is taking place with sheet rocking to begin in mid-November. Roofing on the east patient wing is also near completion. Both wings will be enclosed and interior work will continue throughout the winter months. Framing of the walls for Same Day Surgery will begin soon and painting of those walls will start in mid-November. Other outside work includes the new parking lot on the east side. Once complete, this parking lot will remain closed because it is in the construction work area.

October 3, 2018 It has been a busy September on the construction site. The patient wings are taking shape and the steel framing of the main entrance, emergency department, urgent care, and ambulance garage has started. The new Rehabilitation Services - physical therapy - opened on Sept. 24. Inside, demolition of the former therapy space has started. In 2019 that space will be outpatient surgery. The patient wings will be fully enclosed by November and passersby will not see much activity outdoors as most of the work will move inside. The new patient wings will be complete and in use by mid 2019!

July 25, 2018 In the past four weeks footings have been built on the east patient wing and foundation walls on both patient wings have also been constructed. All sanitary sewer work is complete and earthwork in the interior courtyard is done. Next in the process is the completion of the plumbing work in the south and east wings. Inside, the new Physical and Occupational Therapy Department is taking shape as walls and sheetrock will be started this week. Steel will start coming on site the week of Aug. 13 and those beams will start to go up, making the new patient wings look like patient wings. An open house for the new PT/OT department is tentatively planned for early October.

June 29, 2018 Much of the site work is complete and building of the new patient wing on the south side of the River's Edge building has started with the placing of the foundation walls.
