Gunnison Valley Hospital’s plan to expand and revitalize healthcare services in its community is beginning to take shape.
Construction of a $5.1 million hospital addition and renovation began in early August 2010. The project includes a new 14,000 square foot addition to the hospital, and a 4,500 square foot renovation of existing space. The addition will house the relocated and expanded lab and radiology departments and a new outpatient registration area. The renovation will provide expanded space for a visiting physicians clinic and a new oncology treatment clinic.
The addition and renovation are the initial phase of a five-year master facilities plan for Gunnison Valley Hospital. By focusing on outpatient services and creating a patient-centered care environment, the hospital is improving access for area patients and is positioning to keep more healthcare dollars in the Gunnison community.
“We are a $50 million economic engine in the Gunnison community. This project supports our growth, which is important to the economic vitality of our area,” said Randy Phelps, Gunnison Valley Hospital Chief Executive Officer.
The Neenan Company, a CRHC Corporate Member, is providing integrated design and construction services on the project through the design-build delivery model.
The GVH addition and remodel is scheduled to be completed in August 2011.
