Emergency Care

Identified by the local community as the top priority for Measure C, our Emergency Department is in need of renovation to improve the department’s ability to handle patients with varying degrees of illness and injury. For example, currently there is no dedicated triage area in which to evaluate the acuity of a patient’s condition. Emergency patients must register in a public area offering no privacy or confidentiality. A reconfiguration of the Emergency Department will provide a dedicated private triage area to evaluate each patient’s emergency care needs, and speed access to urgent care. A new entry will provide better access for patients, while improvements to our waiting area will increase comfort for family and friends.

Diagnostic Imaging

As part of the Measure C projects, new diagnostic equipment, including a nuclear medicine camera and fluoroscope have been added to enhance our diagnostic capability.

Surgery

Expanding the sterile processing capability for our surgery department is also a part of this phase of the Measure C projects.
