Dosher Memorial Hospital begins site preparations for new 8,000 square foot emergency department

SOUTHPORT, NC (WWAY) — Dosher Memorial Hospital has begun site preparations for the construction of a new 8,000 square foot Emergency Department.

The new building will be located at the corner of E. 9th and N. Howe Streets. The new Emergency Department will be more than double the size of the existing department, and will feature more beds and improved workflow, according to a press release.

Completion of the building is expected by the end of 2025.

“We are excited to begin our Emergency Department build, however, these renovations are more than buildings,” Said Lynda Stanley, Dosher President and CEO. “They represent our commitment to care for our local residents and to contributing to the health and wellbeing of our patients for years to come.”

The building of the new Emergency Department is part of Phase 1 of Dosher’s 7-year Master Facility Plan.
