A look at the new emergency department.
The expansion increased the size of the emergency department to add a behavioral health room, triage room, three additional privacy beds, and a personal emergent room. The Lab also expanded to provide additional patient privacy, quicker access to lab draws, and better workspaces. The expansion also made room for dedicated ultra-sound space, as well as more room for the pharmacy.
Ches Jacobson, RN, Delta nurse administrator, says the expansion will improve caregivers’ ability to provide outstanding patient care for their community.
“We work with amazing caregivers and these caregivers want to make sure every patient, every time, gets the very best experience and care we can provide,” Ches says.
The ribbon cutting event last week drew more than 75 people, as well as a visit from the Intermountain Life Flight team based at Utah Valley Hospital.
