Construction on three key areas of Sevier Valley Hospital is nearing completion. First is the new women and children’s center, which includes modern, comfortable delivery rooms. The women’s center is set to open this week.
The next project is a post operation recovery area. This is a space designed for those who have outpatient surgeries to have a place to recover without being admitted into the hospital for an overnight stay.
The final project at the hospital that is nearing completion is the new emergency department. Designed to address privacy concerns and to give doctors and staff more room to work, the new emergency department is on schedule to open in October. Included in the emergency department is a pair of observation rooms, which are for patients that may not need immediate critical care.
Once the new areas in the hospital are open, the second phase of the emergency department will be able to begin. The old emergency room will be remodeled and better integrated into the new parts of the hospital. The schedule calls for the second phase to be completed in April 2018.
In addition to upgrading the physical facilities for the hospital, SVH is also actively engaged in recruiting more doctors for the area. Richfield Reaper
