Campus Expansion Update
The hospital’s Vision 2020 plan is nearing fruition with many construction plans completed and others in full swing. The hospital’s expansion project scheduled for completion by the end of this year. Here is what you will notice outside and inside the hospital.
Outside the Hospital
Atlee Hill
The Atlee Hill Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center is on schedule for an early 2022 move-in date. At the corner of Stoner Avenue and Washington Road, the exterior of the building is nearing completion, which will allow for work to move forward on the inside.
Dove House
The expansion of Dove House, Bridging Life’s inpatient hospice facility in Westminster is going well and on schedule for completion in November. By the end of summer, six inpatient beds will be added for a total of 14 beds. Other construction planned for the Dove House include adding a new nurses’ station, renovating the family lounge and refreshing current inpatient rooms.
Inside the Hospital
Critical Care Unit (CCU)
The Critical Care Unit (CCU) is located on the second floor of the recently constructed tower. The unit’s 12 inpatient rooms are larger and include updated technology and ceiling mounted booms for medical supplies. The unit has an expanded nurses’ station and the capacity for additional isolation rooms, when necessary.
Clinical Decision Unit
The Clinical Decision Unit is now adjacent to the Emergency Department on the ground floor. The 22-bed unit consists of all private patient rooms and increased visibility, making the monitoring of patients more efficient.
Diagnostic Imaging Department
Diagnostic imaging services are now provided on the first floor of the new tower. This new location allows for more streamlined care.
Perioperative and Surgical Recovery Area
Construction has begun on a new Perioperative and Surgical Recovery Area which will consolidate the hospital’s pre- and post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) into one larger modern, cohesive unit. Once completed, the combined unit will have 35 bed bays for patient care before and after surgery. The entire unit is expected to be completed by April 2022.
Pediatric Care Center
A new Pediatric Care Center will be constructed on the ground floor of the hospital next to the Emergency Department. The center will consist of four inpatient beds, four Emergency Department treatment rooms, a spacious playroom and waiting room. The center is scheduled for completion by the end of August.
