New Facility Update #12

November 5, 2009

During the past two weeks substantial progress was made on the new hospital facility. All of the exterior stone work was completed and the masons won't return until January to finish the interior stone work around the lobby fireplace and chapel.   Aluminum window framing was completed and windows were installed in the acute care, medical clinic, specialty clinic and emergency room departments.  The large windows in the front lobby, chapel area, rehab and acute care will be installed later this year.

Sheet rocking, duct work, medical gas, fire sprinkler, wood blocking and framing, electrical and plumbing rough-in work continued inside the building.  Paving of the north entrance circle drive should take place next week if weather cooperates.  Also, the south connecting driveway between the new facility and the nursing home will be completed this fall.

The project is nearly 50% complete.  For more information contact the Public Relations office at 728-4347.
