The Wabash General Hospital Board of Directors has approved a project to build sleeping quarters at the ambulance service base. Last year, the board approved plans only to run into obstacles causing those plans to be scrapped. At their meeting this week, the board approved the $226,000 project outlined by chief operating officer Tamara Gould…
The need for the sleeping rooms is necessitated by the hospital going to 24 hour shifts for medics. That shift has allowed Wabash General to attract a full staff of medics, which hasn’t occurred in recent memory.
The hospital board also continues to explore its’ future building needs and those plans received a boost this week by the District #348 school board. At their meeting Monday night, the school board voted to sell a parcel of land that was part of the elementary school property and adjacent to hospital property. The land is being sold for $40,000. The WGH board continues to work on a master facility plan to alleviate lack of space at existing buildings.
