Close to the finish line

Though still a work in progress, construction on the new Campbell County Memorial Hospital Maternal Child Unit is fast approaching the finish line. Located above the Main Lobby on the east end of CCMH, the unit will have three exam rooms, one minor procedure room and eight Labor/Delivery/Recovery/Postpartum rooms (called LDRPs). This is significant because CCMH has never had this type of room for moms and babies before, which are now common in many healthcare facilities. Moms currently deliver their babies in a labor room and then are moved to a postpartum room on a different wing.
Other features of the new unit are a C-Section (operating) room, a six-bed level II Nursery and three dedicated Postpartum rooms. An additional four “flex” rooms will open at the same time and can be used for Maternal Child or Medical Surgical patients.
The Inpatient Room Replacement Project is the first major overhaul of patient rooms since the opening of Campbell County Memorial Hospital in 1981. Learn more about it at www.cchwyo.org/ptrooms.
