THE CAMPAIGN FOR EMERGENCY CARE AT CHILTON MEDICAL CENTER $2.8 MILLION GOAL Chilton Medical Center’s Emergency Department (ED) serves nearly 50,000 people annually and boasts some of the best ED patient experience scores in the region. We are now embarking on an excit- ing journey to enhance the care and expe- rience even further with a transformational modernization project, with construction set to begin this year. This important reno- vation project will create a state-of-the art ED to better accommodate the advanced needs of today’s emergency department while ensuring a healing environment of unsurpassed quality for our community members. The upcoming modernization will include: 1: Additional space, comfort, convenience and flexibility: All patient rooms will be expanded and enhanced for comfort and privacy. We will also add an additional three rooms for behavioral health needs as well as a new Fast Track area. 1 2 2: Better access and efficiency: A new registra- tion area will have enhanced privacy and will be more convenient, while providing better access to our new Children’s Center, which combines both emergency and hospital care in one family- friendly facility. 3: Enhanced observation and oversight: Our new space will ensure nurses and physicians are more accessible and able to respond to patients more efficiently. 3 Chilton Medical Center Foundation is planning a capital campaign with the objective of raising $2.8 million to support the project. As always, the success of The Campaign for Emergency Care at Chilton Medical Center will ultimately depend upon the generosity and commitment of our communities who see the extraordinary value of investing in their community hospital.
