WHAT THE PROJECT MEANS FOR THE COMMUNITY

The renovation and expansion project at ECH has not only enhanced patient care, but will also increase the services available to the community. This project included the renovation and expansion of the Emergency Room, a new main lobby and entryway, and a patient-friendly layout making access to services such as laboratory, medical imaging and the veterans clinic much easier. The project also includes adding such services as MRI coming in summer 2009, chemotherapy treatment in later 2009 and a cardiac rehabilitation program slated to start in 2010.

OTHER HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PROJECT

A designated space for the specialty clinics, including two procedure rooms
More space for the inpatient sub-acute rehabilitation program to add more equipment and treat more patients
Reconfiguration of the Radiology Department to be more patient-friendly and more efficient for staff
More space for the Laboratory to add equipment and allow for storage
A multi-purpose education room for meetings, trainings and special events.
