Expansion and Remodeling Project
Complete!
Black River Memorial Hospital has completed its $22 Million expansion and remodeling project. The project began in the fall of 2005 and a Grand Opening Celebration of the “new” hospital was held April 13, 2008. Not only have we expanded the facility, but we have also expanded our services to meet the growing health needs of the communities we serve.
The following are the project highlights:
Approximately 69,000 square feet of new space has been added to the hospital with a two-story east addition, a two-story plus basement west addition, and a one-story addition on the front or south side. In addition to the new space, approximately 44,000 square feet of the existing hospital has been remodeled.
This has been the largest project in the 40-year history of Black River Memorial Hospital and it has affected every hospital department. It includes the development of many new Patient Service areas: Surgical Services Department, Emergency Department, 21 private Patient Rooms, 12-station Renal Dialysis Unit, Rehabilitation Center, and a Specialty Outreach Area.
The Obstetrics Department has been relocated with a new nurses’ station, nursery and labor/delivery/recovery/postpartum rooms and there has been extensive remodeling and expansion in the Diagnostic Imaging, Inpatient Pharmacy, Hospice, Homecare, Food Service, Clinical Laboratory, and Respiratory Care Departments.
We now have a contemporary healthcare facility with state-of-the-art technology and highly qualified and skilled staff that will serve our patients, staff, and community well, far into the future.
