As we’ve worked to finalize the designs of the new hospital, caregivers, community members and CMH leaders have worked hard to make sure that the hospital will be an improvement for patients and caregivers. All the new features of the hospital will improve the experience of staying, visiting and working there. Everything from providing more comfortable spaces for rest and waiting to enhancing safety and security is a part of CMH’s personcentered care philosophy. Improving the inpatient experience is a big goal of the project. Each of the facility’s inpatient rooms will have a more comfortable environment — rooms will be larger and have private bathrooms, state-of-the-art technology and beautiful views of our local scenery. These changes, among many others, will improve the patient experience by creating a more comfortable, safe place for patients and their families to seek health and wellness.
