Construction Project
On May 13, 2008 Valley County voters approved a $21.265 million dollar bond issue to build a new 68,600 square foot, state of the art replacement hospital in Ord. This will ensure that future generations of the six county region we serve will be assured of the convenience, accessibility and quality of healthcare our patients need and deserve. Site preparation and a ground breaking ceremony took place in Fall 2008. Construction began in the spring of 2009 with completion scheduled for Fall 2010. The VCHS Board of Trustees has scheduled the opening date for Monday, October 4, 2010. A public open house will be held on Sunday, September 26th from 1-4 pm.
Below you will find the latest information about the project.
