WellSpan York Hospital took the next step in the expansion project for the campus by starting demolition on South Hall. Tearing down South Hall, and later the Ketterman Building, will create space for construction of a new Surgical and Critical Care Tower.
To mark the milestone, elected officials, board members, community leaders, WellSpan physicians and team members, and neighbors of the hospital joined together on September 8 to celebrate pulling down the first piece of the building. "In their place, we will construct a multi-level surgical and critical care tower that will not only help us meet our community’s growing health care needs today, but also for decades to come," said Vicky Diamond, Senior Vice President and President - Central Region.
The Surgical and Critical Care Tower will include:
- larger, state-of-the-art surgical suites, including two hybrid operating rooms;
- the newest robotic surgical and advanced medical technology;
- expanded pre- and post-operative care areas;
- new anesthesia and pain management space;
- and a modernized central sterile processing department and expanded supply area to support the operating rooms.
- larger labor and delivery suites with spa-like in-room labor tubs;
- expanded operating rooms;
- modern ante and postpartum rooms,
- private and double-occupancy NICU rooms.
- and areas for family and other visitors.
