Lt. Gov. Brad Owen will be the keynote speaker. A musical performance by Anna's Bay Center of Mu- sic will be a part of the event along with tours of the new facility and re- freshments. The newly con- structed, 20,000-square- foot surgery wing, which comprises Phase 1 of a two-phase project, accom- modates new technologies and replaces the existing surgery suites. The cam- pus renewal and construc- tion project began in April 2012 with the total cost of the project set at $33 mil- lion. Areas included in the new surgery wing are out- patient services, a post an- esthesia care unit, three operating rooms, two en- doscopy rooms, a central sterilization area for the surgery department, a lab draw station and surgery support space. In addition, upgrades were made to the nurses' stations and inpa- tient rooms in the medi- cal/surgical/pediatrics unit and the birth center. To fa- cilitate a healthy environ- ment, a mile-long walking path was added to the cam- pus grounds. "This is an exciting time for our community. With the extremely favorable economic climate for con- struction, we have an ex- traordinary opportunity to make these high-priority improvements without the need for a voter-approved bond. These improvements will give us the flexibility to respond to future chang- es in the delivery of local healthcare and assure our continued ability to pro- vide high-quality servic- es. More importantly, hos- pital services have changed dramatically in the past quarter of a century, and MGH & FC is commit- ted to investing in the fu- ture of quality healthcare right here, close to home m our community," hospital board commissmner Scott Hilburn said. "This project is a symbol of an accomplishment that positions us to continue to serve our community now. and in the future. The new surgical wing is necessary to provide access to basic healthcare needs locally in our community, and has been instrumental in recruiting two new ortho- pedic surgeons and a gen- eral surgeon. We are very excited about this transfor- mative phase in our Hos- pital and the community's history," CEO Bob Appel said. With Phase 1 complet- ed, Phase 2 begins imme- diately, by expanding the diagnostic imaging depart- ment with the addition of an open MRI unit. and the expansion and moderniza- tion of the Emergency De- partment. "As a hospital district we are very proud of our services, equipment, fa- cilities, and our current Campus Renewal and Con- struction Project," Hilburn said. "What sets MGH & FC apart from other hospi- tals - larger and smaller -- is the care provided by our dedicated physicians and staff members. MGH & FC regularly receives notes of appreciation from patients and their fami- lies about the high level of quality care they received." To date, the project is ahead of schedule and on budget thanks to the ef- forts of Hoffman Construc- tion Company, Scherer As- sociates, OAC Services and MGH & FC physicians and staff.
