Person Memorial Hospital is a 110-bed community, not for profit hospital serving the people of Person County and surrounding communities. Currently Person Memorial is undergoing an $18 million addition/renovation which should be completed in 2009.
Specialty Clinics offering services of physicians from surrounding areas, provide health care not available on a full-time basis. They are located in a renovated wing resembling a private physician’s office. Services include Rheumatology, Cardiology, Pulmonology, Endocrinology, Nephrology, Hematology/Oncology and Neurology.
With the addition of an all-digital surgical suite not usually found in community hospitals, Person Memorial stands out as a state-of-the-art health care provider. There is a family waiting area, private passageway between the surgical suite and the intensive care unit, consultation rooms and a private discharge area for same day surgery patients.
The next area of addition/renovation will be the Emergency Department that will house all private treatment rooms and an emergency fast track to expedite care of patients who can be treated and discharged within a short time.
The intensive care unit will be renovated and enlarged to provide all private patient rooms with private baths and a centrally located nursing station.
