Carson Valley Health and Gilbane Building Company Celebrate Topping Out Milestone
GARDNERVILLE, Nev. (PRWEB) July 14, 2023 -- Carson Valley Health (CVH) and Gilbane Building Company gathered today along with local leaders to celebrate the topping-out milestone for the hospital addition in Gardnerville, Nevada.
"We are proud to support our growing community with the major expansion of Carson Valley Health," said Rich Arndt, Project Executive for Gilbane Building Company. “This community will continue to benefit from having top-tier facilities in the region.”
“Marking this milestone with our community and staff that have watched this expansion with us since the groundbreaking in October 2021 is exciting,” said Jeff Prater, Carson Valley Health CEO.
Upon completion in 2024, the hospital expansion will provide an additional 44,000 SF that will expand the emergency department from 5 to 12 beds, expand the operating rooms to 3 full-size ORs plus 2 procedure rooms, and an addition of 2 acute care inpatient beds and 3 ICU beds. The brand-new sports medicine program and rehabilitation center opened in Spring 2022, which includes an expanded pediatric physical therapy program and a new vestibular/neurological rehab program.
Also included as part of the project are expanded cardiology services including a Cardiac Cath Lab, expanded support services for Orthopedics including an upgraded space for MRI, and recently upgraded technology for MRI, X-ray, and interventional Radiology. Other services include an an enhanced women’s imaging center with 3D digital mammography and Dexa Scan, and space for robotic surgery.
In addition to the expansion, the project also includes a medical office building renovation that provided modifications and upgrades to existing buildings including exterior upgrades, lobby renovations, and tenant improvements.
In the past five years, the health needs of the Carson Valley community have changes, and Carson Valley Health has simultaneously experienced growth in nearly every healthcare service provided. The expansion project will bring CVH’s services and facilities to the next level to continue to support the needs of the community, both now and in the future.
