- Satellite Clinic Implementation
- Equipment Revitalization
- Community Health and Wellness Education
Emergency Department Renovation
By renovating the current emergency department, patients, community members, and area visitors will benefit by enhanced functionality, privacy and security. This vital need is driven by significant increases in the number of medical emergencies.
- 5,968 emergency patients in 2015
- 6,620 emergency patients in 2016
- 6,950 emergency patients in 2017
- 7,083 emergency patients in 2018
The project is designed to renovate approximately 4,000 SF of existing clinical space in the emergency department and approximately 2,000 SF of adjacent non-clinical space in the hospital to add a new emergency department walk-in entrance, registration area, and triage area.

Rural American populations face significant health disparities when compared to urban populations. The National Rural Health Association (NHRA) found that several factors work in tandem to create such conditions. These include lower access to physicians, higher incidence of disease and disability, longer distance to the nearest healthcare facility, lower average household income, and higher levels of tobacco use.
