Public Invited! ANDIE L. BRYMER/HERALD Alex Bell of Kings Mountain Hospital, right, talks with city leaders during a tour Monday.

BRYMER Staff Writer City officials and department heads toured construction at Kings Mountain Hospital Monday afternoon. The new emergency and surgery. departments, main entrance and cafe should be open by late July. The emergency waiting area alone is half the size of the current ED. Alex Bell, a hospital official, called the waiting area “accommodating, comfortable.” “It’s the first glimpse (of the hospital) many people see,” he said. Sixty percent of admissions come through the emergency department. In the new ED there will be two rooms for orthopedics, two for observation, four for trauma, six for fast track/urgent care and two for behavioral health. In the new emergency department patients can be transported to the radiol- ogy department without having to enter public areas of the facility. The operating room will be located directly above the ED. Now the ED and radiology share bathrooms but with the new construc- tion each department will have its own. A cafe sits in front of the ED. A curved partial glass wall frames the front of the area. Food will still be prepared in the " existing kitchen but served in the new cafe which includes outdoor seating. The area can be used as a community room in the evenings. Visitors and patients using the front entrance will drive under a glass ceiling entrance. Handicapped parking will be, located next to the door. Currently itis up a hill. The medical staff is leading a fund raising drive to pay for a founda- tion at the entrance. “It should be a spectacular front to the hospital,” Bell said. Above the cafe is the waiting area for out-patient surgery. Here also the walls are glass. A carpeted play area for chil- dren is being built. Bell describes the two operating rooms under construction as “state of the art.” All equipment is suspended from the ceiling. Lab and radiology departments are connected directly to the surgery suites by computer. “We're really proud. This whole floor is going to be fantastic,” Bell said. Additional surgical space can be built “onto the end of the unit. “It’s intended to allow us to grow with the community,” President John Young said. The hospital is currently attracting mostly general and orthopedic surgeons. Young would like to see more cardiac work done here. While some community members have asked for obstetrics, that is unlikely in the near future officials say. Currently 1,400 babies are delivered at CRMC, the only facility-in Cleveland with obstetrics. In healthcare that is a low number. Officials say OB is a money losing area. After the first phase is complete, reno- vations will begin on existing ED space. Rodgers Builders is doing the 33,000- square-foot expansion and renovation project. Of that total, 27,000 square-foot is new construction. Young called the expansion part of a long term plan. The oldest portion of the hospital is on the other side of the facili- ty meaning it could be replaced with lit- tle disturbance. After the current project is complete administration will be housed there. Currently administrators are in mobile units. Kings Mountain Mayor Rick Murphrey had high praise for the hospi- tal. “Healthcare has improved 100 per- cent. It’s state of the art. They really believe in our future as we do,” he said. GROVER From 1A Tee-shirts, jewelry, pillows and birdhouses will be for sale. The annual festival isn’t a money maker for the organization but is a chance for the community to get together, according to Evelyn Willis of the women’s club. The festival also marks the opening of the park concession stand. It will be staffed by women’s club members. Vendors may still regis- ter for the festival.
