During the weeks of August 16 & 23, the new hospital project

New Hill Rom Bed in Acute Care Room

continued to approach final completion. Final clean-up in the acute care, medical clinic and specialty clinic occurred.  The remaining trim out is nearing completion and the boiler and HVAC control were started.  Miscellaneous paint touch up was underway and office furniture was continuing to be installed.  The oxygen tank was installed and the fire sprinkler system was tested.  The 16 patient beds were delivered and installed in Acute Care.

Over the next few weeks the final wall coverings will be hung and the rest of the furniture and equipment will be delivered and installed.   Interior signage will also be installed and the stained glass in the chapel will be hung.  Final clean-up will continue in the remainder of the building.

The opening date for the new hospital will be Monday, October 4, 2010.  A dedication and public open house will be held on Sunday, September 26th from 1-4 pm.  For construction photos, visit the Photo Gallery at ValleyCountyHealthSystem.org.  For more information contact the Public Relations office at 728-4347.

Your new hospital has been carefully designed to provide the maximum amount of privacy and safety for our patients, with the added comforts of a relaxing and peaceful environment.  The two-year construction project is complete and the time has arrived to showcase the new healthcare facility.
