Johnston Medical Center unveils new tower
Johnston Medical Center has unveiled its long-awaited, new five-story bed tower.
The $62 million expansion project debuted Jan. 17, replacing inpatient rooms with 105 modern, spacious, private inpatient suites, “each equipped with a private bathroom, dinette, family area, flat-screen TV and a futon bed so that family members can stay with the patient,” says Kevin Rogols, Johnston Health president and CEO. “It will be a very, very comfortable experience for patients and their families.”
The new tower also includes five operating suites with state-of-the-art equipment, expanded cardiology services, a new lobby, registration area, chapel and gift shop. Paintings, photos and sculptures by local artists line the walls and hallways.
The expansion is part of a larger, $144 million effort by Johnston Health, which earlier opened a 51,000-square-foot medical center in Clayton and will finish work on Hospice House, the county’s first hospice center, in mid-2010.
