UMass Memorial-HealthAlliance Hospital is putting $37.3 million towards an expansion of its emergency room, a six-phase project expected to span over 30 months.
The hospital will renovate its existing emergency room and add 12,000 square feet of space, including 13 new patient rooms, a fully staffed lobby open 24/7, and more functional treatment rooms, including new technology in the resuscitation room. The new nurses station will feature expanded space, and additional room for caregivers across specialties.
The hospital will get a new ambulance entrance, a bariatric room, improved behavioral health spaces, and 60 new parking spaces.
Current services will not be disrupted, and the number of treatment beds available will not be affected.
