Perry Hospital addition now open
The Perry Hospital celebrated a new addition to their
facility on Thursday. Over 30 local and state dignitaries gathered to cut the
ribbon on the newly constructed area.
The new nine bed wing makes all 45 rooms at the hospital
private and provides space for a doctors lounge, something that the facility
has never been able to offer.
“We have had semi-private rooms since 1969, and we are so
happy to now have all private rooms which protect patients from spreading
infection, gives them more privacy and provides a more quiet environment for
them to rest and recover,” said David Campbell.
Houston Healthcare’s chief executive officer Cary Martin
said, “This addition is tangible evidence that the hospital board is committed
to meeting the needs the South end of the county.”
Martin noted the layout of the new wing was designed so that
in the future if the need arises to expand farther it will be simple to add on.
What began as one community hospital has evolved over the
past 50 years into a healthcare system consisting of seven separate entities
serving over 300,000 people every year.
Carey attributes the hospitals growth and expansion over the
years to the people of Houston County.
Perry Hospital currently employees 236 people with 35
physicians on staff.
