Dosher Memorial Hospital held beam signing ceremony

SOUTHPORT, NC (WWAY) — Dosher Memorial Hospital marked a significant milestone in their construction with a beam signing ceremony on Monday.

Dosher Memorial Hospital marked a significant milestone in Phase 1 of their Master Facility Plan with a beam signing ceremony on Monday March 17th.

The new Emergency Department will be 8,000 square feet, doubling the size of the current Emergency Department, and will increase current treatment spaces from 10 to 14, including 9 beds and 5 vertical care chairs to streamline wait times and care for patients of lower acuity.

“The signing of the last beam commemorates our progress and is a gesture of the shared vision we have for the future of healthcare in our community. I am touched by the messages of kindness and inspiration that were left by our dedicated team members on the beam and am grateful that the Master Facility Plan upgrades will enable us to meet the growing needs of our service area.” Said Dosher President and CEO Lynda Stanley.
