Finish Line In Sight For WGH Construction Projects

Anticipation continues to build for the completion of the $14.5 million major construction and renovation project at Wabash General Hospital. Inside the hospital, work to renovate the main entrance and lobby is now complete and an overhaul of the kitchen and cafeteria is also done waiting to reopen according to WGH President/CEO Karissa Turner…

Turner said the cafeteria will initially reopen to hospital staff and employees before the public is welcomed back. The crown jewel of the construction project is the two-story, 32,000 square foot medical office building. Turner said some minute punch list items are being finished while awaiting for required inspections and certifications to take place…

The new medical office building consolidates several physician offices into one building located adjacent to the hospital and provides the setting for a comfortable, modern delivery of oncology services. The medical office building also provides space for staff offices, conference and training rooms, and a staff lounge. The overall project also included additional expansion of the orthopedic and sports medicine clinic.
