Jasper County Hospital OR/MRI Addition:

Description: Jasper County Hospital is a critical access hospital providing primary care and specialty services such as cardiology, orthopedics, urology, oncology and more through hospital based outpatient clinics. Inpatient services include medical/surgical, obstetrics, and an extended care unit. A fully automated laboratory, certified mammography services, CT, MRI, ultrasound, and nuclear scanning meet the testing needs of inpatients and outpatients.

The original hospital was built in 1962 and consisted of 3 stories and a lower level. There have been two subsequent major additions since then. The first was in 1971 and added a 3 story, plus lower level addition to the west end of the hospital, which included office space and patient rooms. The last was in 1982 and added a 1 story plus lower level addition to the east end of the hospital, which included the main entry and registration and ER treatment areas.

The proposed Addition/Remodel project includes a 27,000 s.f. addition to house the updated Surgery Department and MRI suite on the first floor and the re-located Departments of Oncology, Sleep Lab, and Health Information Services on the lower level. A major renovation of approximately 9,000 s.f on the first floor will include recovery areas and a greatly expanded Outpatient Department. There will also be another 18,000 s.f. of updates to existing corridor and entry lobby finishes, a complete chiller plant replacement, and miscellaneous work within the lower levels to facilitate the project.
