Steam Line Replacement - The Steam Line project is nearly complete! There are a few more lines to tie in, and once those are complete, we will be using the new steam lines to heat our buildings, sterilize our hospital equipment  and use the system for our hot water supply.  Estimated date to initiate the steam system is  January 2013.

 

5th Floor South Remodel – The south end of the 5th floor of Building One will be remodeled for a new four-bed Telemetry Unit.  In total the project will construct 11 new patient rooms.  The project will also construct a new cardiopulmonary sleep lab on the 1st floor of Building 1 and a new conference space in Building 16. Construction has begun in Building 16 for the training/conference room.
