By GlobalData“The completion of this project makes a total of 111 the number of new beds we have put into operation since October of 2017, creating enhanced access to the services we provide that are so critically needed by our community.”
Earlier this month, an expanded gastroenterology lab opened at the hospital.
Furthermore, the hospital’s Level 1 trauma centre, the Fanny Meisler Trauma Center, is undergoing an expansion programme and will open this autumn.
USA Health CEO Owen Bailey was quoted as saying: “As the region’s only Level I Trauma Center and home to the only regional burn unit and the area’s first comprehensive stroke centre, it is so important that we have capacity to meet the growing needs of our community.
“These additional beds will ensure our capacity to provide our unique services to the people who come to us for care, even during public health emergencies like the Covid-19 pandemic.
