Grandview Medical Center celebrated the opening of 10 additional ER treatment rooms on Wednesday, Aug. 7 with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The expansion utilized 3,600 square feet of shell space within the emergency department footprint. The completion of the project brings the total number of treatment rooms to 32.

“Currently, our ER has approximately 45,000 visits annually,” said Justin Bryant, chief operating officer at Grandview. “This expansion will allow our team to continue providing responsive emergency care for patients needing our services. The additional rooms will minimize the use of alternative treatment areas and improve the patient experience.”
