The highly anticipated groundbreaking event on Monday, April 22nd, signifies the commencement of the Wooster Community Hospital's expansion project for the Patient Access Emergency Center, set to be completed by 2026.

- Dedicated behavioral health space.
- Improved patient and family waiting space.
- Results and discharge lounges: space used for patients who no longer need an emergency department room.

- Main entrance patient hub will provide convenient access to outpatient registration, medical records, and customer service.
- Outpatient lab services will be conveniently located near the main entrance.
- Improved security and controlled access to the main hospital.

- The focus thus far has been to install underground storm and sewer lines so that they can cut in a temporary ramp to divert ER traffic into Lot A. They will be pouring that ramp this week and traffic will begin to be diverted down the new drive by weeks end.
- This week, we will be adding additional parking on the West side of ER hill, adding additional ADA parking strategically and possibly a few other improvements.
