Our partners in caring - our physicians, our nurses and staff - practice a philosophy that inspires an environment of teamwork, respect, encouragement, opportunity and trust.

With a commitment to exceed customer expectations through distinguished quality, safety, customer service, spiritual values, operational excellence and innovation in meeting the health care needs of those being serviced, plans for additional services became a reality.

The innovative addition would include additional intensive care and telemetry rooms and a new emergency department that increased the number of patients who can be served to 90,000 per year. The new construction also included new surgery suites, endoscopy, catheterization labs, imaging department, outpatient holding area, hospital cafeteria, chapel, pharmacy, and gift shop. Another 52,000 square feet of renovations were completed providing new gastrointestinal labs, a new laboratory, rehabilitation unit, pulmonary functions lab and day surgery units.
