The goal is to support better patient flow, reduce wait times, and create a more comfortable environment for patients and families seeking emergency care. >> View the Newly Expanded Emergency Department Key Features of the New Emergency Department Design More Personal Space The semi-enclosed pods have curved walls that help reduce noise. This creates a quieter and more private setting for patients and their families during emergency visits. Faster Access to Care The treatment pods are grouped into small clusters with nearby support areas. This reduces the distance nurses and medical staff need to walk, helping them reach patients more quickly. A Calmer Environment Medical equipment such as oxygen and monitors is built into the walls and kept out of direct view. This helps the space feel less clinical and may reduce anxiety for patients. Fast Track Unit for Minor Conditions Patients with less serious medical concerns can be treated in the new Fast Track Unit. Convertible stretchers are used to help improve comfort and efficiency for both patients and staff. What’s Next This project is part of a larger expansion plan. Future phases will include secure and dedicated treatment areas for pediatric patients and individuals receiving behavioral health care.
