Northwest Florida Community Hospital Plans Open House

Northwest Florida Community Hospital has announced an Open House on April 7, 2011 from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM to celebrate the completion of Phase One and Two of remodeling of the second floor patient rooms at the hospital.  With a cost of nearly two million dollars, and with no cost to taxpayers, the newly remodeled patient rooms bring state-of-the-art treatment to Northwest Florida Community Hospital.

NFCH staff and management are excited about the offering to the community and Pat Schlenker, CEO of NFCH states ‘This project is part of a continued effort on the part of Northwest Florida Community Hospital to improve the accessibility of healthcare to the community.  This remodeling has significantly increased the square footage of patient rooms and helps with infection control while providing a more pleasant environment’. 

The design of the newly refurbished patient rooms and nursing station affords high visibility of the patients by physicians and nursing staff.  The general contractor, Wellness Environments of Nashville, Tennessee is the leading world-wide designer, manufacturer and installer of componentized, task-centered patient rooms designed to install more efficiently, be more durable, easier to clean, and most importantly improve the patient’s healing experience.

Northwest Florida Community Hospital also offers inpatient and outpatient general and ENT surgery, 24 hour emergency services, a complete suite of women’s health services, including Soft Pad Mammography and a full array of diagnostic radiology, including MRI, along with a new state-of-the-art Wound Healing Institute.
