LEWISGALE MEDICAL CENTER CELEBRATES A MILESTONE IN CONSTRUCTION LewisGale Medical Center held a Sign-the-Beam ceremony recently to celebrate a milestone in construction of its new standalone emergency room, at the corner of Route 419 / Ogden Road and the first of its kind in Southwest Virginia. The new, nearly 10,000 square-foot standalone ER will be staffed with board-certified emergency room physicians and nurses 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and provide the same services provided in an emergency room that is housed within the walls of a hospital. The new ER is scheduled to open in late 2017.
LEWISGALE HOSPITAL UNVEILS NEWLY RENOVATED EMERGENCY ROOM LewisGale Hospital Montgomery recently unveiled a newly renovated Emergency Room and formally introduced its new da Vinci Surgical System, marking the completion of more than $6 million in hospital infrastructure improvements. More than $1 million in renovations to the Hospital’s 9,000 square foot Emergency Room expanded the triage area where patients are assessed upon arrival and added a new Super Track area where patients with lower acuity conditions are seen, leading to even faster patient care. The addition of the da Vinci Surgical System offers patients an alternative to traditional surgical services, and one that provides for a faster recovery, less pain, and shorter period of physical restrictions, as compared to open or traditional laparoscopic surgery. 20
