OUR VISION FOR MEETING OUT FUTURE HEALTHCARE NEEDS
To build the hospital that Texas County needs to meet our future healthcare needs, we are launching a $3.2 million capital campaign—Care for Your Future—designed to address the limitations of the aging and inadequate portions of our current hospital, beginning with our surgery department and adding a tornado safe room.
The new surgery department will:
• Double the size of the department for two operating rooms and an outpatient surgery room
• Incorporate the latest technology for operating room efficiency
• Help recruit new physicians and ancillary staff and assist in retaining current physicians
• Advanced 24/7 access to general surgery care• Provide 7 private pre- and post-surgery bays for patients and their family members
- Particularly important for infant/parent bonding following C-sections
• Have 6,091 square feet of climate-controlled space
The FEMA approved tornado safe room will:
• Be capable of sustaining 250 MPH winds for 2 hours
• Provide shelter for 462 patients, staff members and community residents in severe weather
• Enhance capacity for triage in case of mass casualty
• Have a backup generator supplying power
• Have 4,000 square feet of climate-controlled space utilized as waiting space in non-threatening weather times
