The Health Central Hospital in Ocoee, Florida, will open the first phase of a reconstructed emergency department soon and will begin renovating the current emergency department space, according to an article on the Healthcare Finance News website.
Once the renovation is complete, the emergency department will have more than tripled in size, from 15,000 square feet to 54,000 square feet. It will also host 10 additional beds, for a total of 62 patient examination rooms.
A newly constructed patient tower that will tack on an additional 40 beds is also opening soon.
The expansion increases Health Central's bed count from 171 to 211.
