Harrington opens new Webster emergency department
The new Remillard Family Emergency Department officially opened its doors Thursday at the Webster campus of Harrington HealthCare.
The $8.8 million facility at 340 Thompson Road marks the first significant renovation to the Emergency Department in more than 30 years, a statement from Harrington HealthCare System said. It has nine private exam rooms, a separate ambulance entrance, two new waiting rooms, enhanced patient privacy, and a renovated central registration area.
According to Jim Sullivan, M.D., Harrington’s chief of emergency medicine, the transition of care was seamless, with the old Emergency Department closing as the new one opened, the statement said. The former entrance to the Emergency Department will now be closed.
Monitor Builders Inc. served as construction manager for the 13,000-square-foot addition, with the assistance of DiGiorgio Associates of Boston.
The project was made possible largely in part to Arthur Remillard Jr. and the Remillard Family Foundation, who pledged a $4 million matching gift in early 2012. Other significant donors included Chris and Bev Robert, Gerald and Marilyn Fels, Randy and Donna Becker, Norm and Esther Lavoie and the Janet Malser Humanities Trust, the statement said.
Also, the statement said, State Sen. Richard T. Moore helped secure $1.5 million from the state’s fiscal 2014 budget specifically to support the campaign.
