Hospital expansion news
CMH expansion at a glance
Hospital expansion project will result in "a very modern facility–top to bottom"
CMH has been putting the finishing touches on a plan to invest $26 million in our facility that will add an array of important healthcare services for the community.
"When you couple this project with the 2004 [expansion] project, we will have a new facility from top to bottom," said Rick Breuer, CMH CEO/Administrator.
Breuer said that the project will allow CMH to bring important programs and amenities that the community has been asking for, such as dialysis, private rooms with more space for patients and families, and larger waiting rooms.
"There's a recognized need to invest like this," Breuer said. "There's a belief among board, staff, physicians and the community that this facility belongs here and that we are here to stay. We are setting ourselves up to provide care people want and need well into the future."
Unlike the 2004 expansion project, this second and larger project will not include a fundraising campaign, but will be funded through private funding sources. However, if anyone is interested in making a contribution to the project, we would be happy to discuss individual donations. The project is expected to take 15 months to complete.
