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.
