Simpson General Hospital (SGH) has announced plans to begin the renovation and expansion of its Mendenhall facility.
Officials released that the first phase in the construction plans includes the renovation of a 6,200-square-foot area, which will include an inpatient senior adult care unit, new space for inpatient care, and the relocation of several clinical support departments to streamline ancillary support services.
“This project will enhance the patient experience and care offerings for both the inpatient and outpatient aspects of the hospital,” Gregg Gibbes, CEO of SGH, Magee General Hospital, and Covington County Hospital, said.
Once completed, the hospital will yield an enhanced layout for an overall improved patient and visitor experience.
“We are mid-way through the planning process and anticipate finalizing the efforts within the next 60-90 days and plan to begin construction by early fall,” said Gibbes.
In addition to the main hospital, Simpson General offers family medical clinics in Mendenhall, Harrisville, and Puckett, as well as a drive-thru clinic in Mendenhall.
