Officials outline vision for Ball Memorial Hospital's Future

BMH Medical MallIn four years, Ball Memorial Hospital’s footprint will change dramatically with the addition of a new south tower, expanded surgical suites, improved access to outpatient services, and a move towards a new private patient room environment.

Hospital officials shared their vision for the revamped Ball Hospital, by unveiling the organization’s future facility master plan, which includes 400,000 square feet of new and renovated space by 2010, at a press conference at Minnetrista Cultural Center on Thursday.

“Seventy-five years ago in 1929, this hospital was founded with a gift from Edmund F. Ball to address a community need for quality health care,” said R. Donn Roberts, Ball Memorial Hospital’s Board Chairman. “Today, we continue to respond to our community’s growing healthcare needs by sharing our plans for the future. This plan fits into our goals of delivering quality patient care services and programs that are of value to our community.”
