Wellstar Columbia County Medical Center (transporting, house, transport)

[amlovingit]

I’m not crazy about the name of the hospital. It is about time CC builds a hospital for it’ss community. The break down from what was in the newspaper below:



For several years, Columbia County has been Georgia’s most populous county without a full-service hospital.

When completed, Wellstar Columbia County Medical Center will span about 250,000 square feet, the size of more than four football fields. Its emergency department will house a Level II trauma center, which offers definitive 24-hour treatment for sudden injuries. The closest Level II to Augusta is in Athens at Piedmont Athens Regional.

Neighboring the hospital will be a 90,000-square-foot office building whose occupants will focus on women’s health and other specialties for what Turner called a “patient-focused medical office building for all of Columbia County’s residents and neighboring communities.”

The hospital’s 100 patient rooms will be “acuity-adaptable,” meaning the rooms are designed to more efficiently bring care to a patient instead of transporting a patient to different in-hospital care sites.
