Construction at Warner Hospital and Health Services expansion of its emergency room services is hitting a major milestone this week.

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, CEO Paul Skowron told Regional Radio one half of the renovation is now complete and they will begin working to get staff over to the new, top-of-the-line workstations.

According to Skowron, the facility's emergency room has seen quite the transformation. He explains they had to knock down walls and add glass barriers and other features to bring the emergency room into the 21st century.

Now the hospital turns its attention to the other half of the emergency room. Skowron says that will begin once they have moved everything into the expanded, renovated space.

The emergency room renovation is just the tip of the iceberg for construction for the city-owned hospital. Skowron points out that construction by Donnelly's on the southeast side of town is set to become a medical storage facility and they will soon see the new entrance on the west side of the building, by family medicine, get underway with a completion date of roughly Labor Day.
