Hospital
Plans
Addition
LUMBERTON - Officials ai
Southeastern General Hospital have
approved plans for an $8-million ad
dition to the 27-year-old facility.
A new emergency room depart
ment. laboratory. X-ray depart
ment, and child delivery and nursery
will be built in the parking lot of the
present hospital, officials said Mon
day.
Hospital Administrator Donald
Hiscott said, "We've been exploring
for several months the possibility of
building a diagnostic and treatment
center."
The hospital's board of trustees
decided last week to implement
plans for the additions, he said.
"It will take about two years to
build the buildings," Hiscott said.
"It will in all probability be the
summer three years from now (1983)
before we are ready to open it," he
caisf
jmu.
Along with the hospital addition,
about 70 new employees will be ad
ded to the staff, Hiscott said. More
than 700 people currently work for
the hospital.
He said the hospital's board of
trustees has not determined how the
$8 million will be raised to finance
the project.
"We've got several alternatives.
We just haven't decided yet," he
said.
Part of the need for increasing the
hospital's size is due to overcrowd
ing.
Hiscott said the hospital's emer
gency room section, built in 1968,
treated about 17,000 patients that
year.
Last year the hospital at Wast 27th
Street saw about 40,000 patients.
"We've outgrown the facilities so
we are building a new department,"
Hiscott said
"The two delivery rooms we have
right new were opened in 1U3 and
rvally haven't changed much in the
17 years we have been in this build
ing." the hospital administrator
said
