Emergency Department Expansion
A Community Healthcare Project 

Sheridan Memorial Hospital is an area trauma hospital. Its Emergency Department is the first and only line of defense for medical emergencies and trauma
in Sheridan County and the surrounding area.

THE PROBLEM: The current Emergency Department is twenty-five years old and has become seriously inadequate because of increased patient volume that causes patient privacy and safety issues. This project will insure we have the best environment for patients and staff.

THE SOLUTION: The solution to the problem is to expand, reconfigure and equip the Emergency Department. This will enable Sheridan Memorial Hospital staff to deliver professional emergency medical care to an increasing patient population in an environment that affords maximum patient privacy, confidentiality and safety.
The project includes an increase from 2,800 square feet to
12,300 square feet and presents an opportunity to renovate
the Laboratory and Intensive Care Unit.

"I had the unfortunate experience of having an accident that put me in Sheridan Memorial Hospital for nine days.  I’m pleased to say that the care I received was impressive--the staff was excellent.  Even in the Emergency Department where space is limited and privacy is an issue, I still had exceptional care.  The Emergency Department Expansion Project is vital to our community and will benefit all of us.  Doug and I support it fully," Linen Greenough
