What patients should know about Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital construction
ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. (WCAX) – As the heavy construction season gets underway, patients at Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital can expect some changes.
NVRH has started its $22 million dollar construction project, expanding the emergency room, in-home pharmacy and laboratory.
To work around construction, patients are advised to use the new emergency department entrance on the side of the building.
The hospital has also put in some additional parking to make more room for emergency vehicles.
Officials working in all three departments are excited for the future upgrades.
“We have outgrown our footprint. We need more space, we are having more patients coming in. We want to give them great care. Right now we are in transition. If you go into the ED you’re going to see equipment everywhere. The patients rooms are pretty small,” Aimee Crew-Lyon, Chief Nursing Officer said.
Construction is expected to continue until 2027.
