SOUTHPORT—Dosher Memorial Hospital announced today that they have begun construction of the new 8,000 square foot Emergency Department, which will stand on the corner of E. 9th and N. Howe Streets.

The new Emergency Department will be more than double the size of the existing ED, will feature more beds and improved workflow, and enhances the types and level of care received through the use of innovative treatment tools such as vertical chairs for lower acuity patients. Completion of the building is expected by the end of 2025.

Said Lynda Stanley, Dosher President and CEO, “Our healthcare teams work tirelessly to improve the lives of our patients. We need to ensure that we have the infrastructure to do this important work as our community grows. We are excited to get this project underway, as it represents our commitment to contributing to the health and wellbeing of our patients for years to come.”
