opens new wing

Fayette Community

Hospital recently opened its completed third-floor facilities.

The third floor

will allow the hospital to comfortably operate at its 100-bed capacity

and enhance its services, and will feature several new patient care areas

along with an enhanced patient information center.

The third floor's

south wing houses 12 additional private and semi-private medical-surgical

patient rooms, as well as expanded support areas for physician and nurse

use. The third floor also boasts an expanded physical therapy area that

will provide hands-on rehabilitation for orthopedic surgery patients as

well as for stroke patients during their hospital stays.

A short stay

and observation wing, consisting of patient rooms and patient-care bays

for shorter-term hospitalizations, also has been added. This area will

serve patients for outpatient procedures such as infusions, blood transfusions,

chemotherapy treatments and injections.

Another key

component of the third floor expansion is a new medical records area.

"As the

population of Fayette County has grown, so have the needs and number of

our patients," explained hospital CEO, Darrell Cutts. "We are

very enthusiastic about the additional capabilities and greater capacity

our third floor expansion will allow us to provide."
