The first of three phases of ER/Lab renovations has been completed.  On March 29th at Noon, patients can once again enter the Paulding County Hospital Emergency Room at the original locations.  You can either drive up to the ER entrance at the rear of the hospital or you can walk up to the ER registration window in the main outpatient lobby.  At this point, five new ER rooms have been completed along with a u-shaped nurse’s station that has direct line of sight to all patient rooms.

See the Walkthru of the nearly finished section here:

The next phase will include renovations to the east wing of the hospital to move the laboratory there permanently.  Once the testing lab moves to the east wing, phase three will begin to add two large trauma rooms to the ER.  The projected completion date for this project should be in the summer of 2013.
