Union General Heath System became short of medical office space . There is growth in the region , thus Union General is wanting to recruit physicians .
“ This building will help recruit and retain physicians ,” said Bierschenk .
The building will be all clinical space . The administration will remain as it is now in Union General Hospital .
The building is being funded by Union General Health System
Kevin Bierschenk Union General Health System Chief Executive Officer
and there is zero tax money involved . “ We receive no tax money from the county or the state ,” said Bierschenk .
While the building was contracted to Brasfield & Gorrie , Union General used as many local vendors as possible .
“ Any vendor that could do the job and the quality we needed , we used them ,” Bierschenk said .
While many hospitals in the state and nation are closing and / or reducing services , Bierschenk said there are plans to add to Union General Hospital .
“ Right now we are looking at the different options ,” said Bierschenk . “ We are looking to what we can and can not do . We are going to add more to the operating room , more observation beds , add on to the emergency room and add more to the power plant .”
