Electronic medical record system and new Express Care service part of upgrade.
On Tuesday, May 7 at 4:30pm, the community is invited to a ribbon-cutting at Memorial Hospital’s newly renovated Emergency Department (ED), which will be followed by a walk-through and light refreshments. Since January, the department has been undergoing renovations, including the addition of three exam rooms to incorporate an Express Care service, and the implementation of an electronic medical record (EMR) system.
Memorial’s CEO Scott McKinnon will be joined by Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce director Janice Crawford, Memorial’s chief of operations Steve Wyrsch, ED medical director Dr. Kim Goodwin and ED clinical director Colin Richards, RN in cutting the ribbon. “We’re excited to have everything ready before the busy summer season begins in the Valley,” McKinnon said, noting that visits to the emergency department average more than 12,500 a year, many during the most active tourism times. He added, “I’d also like to thank our incredible staff who have continued to provide such excellent care throughout this renovation.
