Bluffton Hospital invites the community to a preview of the new Bluffton Hospital Emergency Department and Surgery Department on Sunday, June 19 from 2 to 4 p.m.
The preview will include tours of the new surgery suites and emergency treatment rooms. Bluffton Hospital nurses, staff and volunteers will be available to answer questions. Refreshments will be served.
The expansion/renovation has created:
o An Emergency Department that can care for more than 7,000 patients per year, focusing on more private treatment areas;
o An expanded Surgery Department to accommodate the already more than 2,500 surgeries per year; and
o A new emergency and surgery registration and support area to accommodate triage patient identification and privacy
One million dollars of this expansion project was funded through donations from Bluffton Hospital associates, physicians and community members.
The Isabelle West Family pledged the lead gift to the project in honor of Mrs. West and her late husband, James F. West, and their longstanding commitment to Bluffton Hospital and the community.
