This year, we will complete a large construction project on campus, which will provide us with a new main entrance, a brand-new ER and an all-new Imaging Department. Our Emergency Department sees more than 70,000 patients per year. We have nearly all medical specialties here at our facility, except pediatric subspecialties.
