Phase One of MidState Medical Center's New Emergency Department and Building Expansion Project Complete
March 2, 2010
MidState Medical Center is pleased to announce that the first phase of its $45 million expansion project is complete. With a new Emergency Department that has increased from 10,200 square feet to 23,300 square feet, new main entrance and lobby area, and additional inpatient unit, the project as a whole will add approximately 100,000 square feet of space to the hospital by September.The new Emergency Department (ED) has been designed to provide patients with greater convenience and comfort, delivering quality, patient-focused service that allows for the most optimal patient experience. Additionally, the state-of-the-art design and technological capabilities provide clinical staff with a more efficient working environment to care for patients.
Enhanced features of the new ED include all private treatment spaces, an 11-bed Assessment Unit, private Behavioral Health Unit, and a dedicated and centrally located Radiology suite.
As the hospital moves into phase two of construction, the existing ED will be renovated and connected to the new department. After phase two of the project is complete in September, a full capacity of 53 treatment spaces will be available for patients needing care.
In addition, MidState's new main entrance showcases a covered patient drop-off area and impressive lobby with a soothing water feature. Our newest inpatient unit, Pavilion E, adds 14 beds for increased patient care.
During the immediate transitional phase, additional Security officers and Volunteers will be on hand to direct patients and visitors.
The expansion of the hospital's physical capacity, as well as the additional services offered, are evidence of MidState's continued commitment to provide the community with the highest standards of care.
