Warner Hospital and Health Services officials last week had engineers in to look at a couple of target areas for renovation within its facility and are getting ready to move forward with one that is becoming the front runner.

Friday on the WHOW Morning Show, CEO Paul Skowron told Regional Radio, the emergency room renovation is starting to be the front-runner for what will get done first. He explains the fact that most of the work will be indoors will help them get it started sooner.

Not only does the fact the emergency room project is almost entirely an inside project make it a front-runner at this point to be taken on first, but there are three phases to the west side entrance project.

Skowron has to figure out how to handle the day-to-day adjustments of where people will wait. He speculates perhaps why they kept putting it off.

According to Skowron, the supply chain issues and inflation challenges should not hold this project back. If they had tried to take this project on six months ago, perhaps it would be a different story.

The Wellness Center of the hospital will be targeted down the road as activity picks up leaving space limited. Skowron notes, for now, they are looking to improve the look of the entrance and its signage.
