Emergency Department Construction
Construction of Concord Hospital's new state-of-the art Jim & Marianne Cook Emergency Department is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2008. Upon completion, the department will include
37 private rooms, a new ambulance entrance, new EMS rooms, a four-bed two-bay trauma resuscitation suite, as well as 11 critical care beds to better serve critically ill and
injured patients. Despite the construction, the emergency department continues to offer the same high quality care and offers the same number of patient beds with an increase in staff.
