Replacement ProjectMission Health invested more than $37 million in the McDowell Hospital campus to be able to upgrade and expand parts of the hospital. The new facility will feature expanded emergency room services, additional inpatient rooms and updated imaging equipment. The campus will provide a focus on outpatient care and a continuation of health care services that support our regional network of care and ensure access to care in a sustainable manner.

Community BenefitsSince 1983, hospital building codes have changed. While renovation was considered, the cost of construction would be the same. The new state-of-the-art facility will improve safety and efficiency of care and enhance the patient experience. The main focus of the new hospital will be outpatient and emergency care, along with inpatient care.
Emergency ServicesThe new facility will maximize patient flow to reduce wait times. The number of bays will increase from 11 to 15. Capacity for patient volume surges will be built in. For behavioral health patients, a safe area will provide care while the patient awaits transfer. Our goal is to get our patients to a provider in less than 30 minutes.
