“As a person who was born and raised in Springfield, I feel privileged and honored to have been asked to be involved in such an important aspect to the future of our community,” said Lampe. “I think our entire community should be elated about this incredible opportunity we have been given to make a significant advancement to our healthcare system in Clark and surrounding counties.”
Key features of the 475,000-square-foot, full service hospital includes 254 private rooms, an expanded emergency center, a dedicated women’s health pavilion, and wireless capabilities for staff and guests.
The new Springfield Regional Medical Center is scheduled to open in 2012.
“The new hospital will potentially touch every single citizen,” explained Ray. “We will have the most state-of-the-art healthcare facility available. It will have a significant effect on attracting and retaining quality doctors, nurses and other healthcare providers. Why wouldn’t everyone want to support such a project?”
