Adventist HealthCare White Oak Medical Center is adding 30 beds to handle more patients seeking emergency and inpatient care for medical, surgical and heart procedures.
Construction has begun for the area, which is located on the eighth floor of the hospital’s south tower. That floor was added a few years ago.
“The demand for services has consistently been high since White Oak Medical Center opened in August 2019,” said Anthony Stahl, president, White Oak Medical Center.
“Most days, we are at or over capacity. Our focus is on helping patients by providing world-class care that reflects our mission to extend God’s care though the ministry of physical, mental and spiritual healing. We need more beds to meet the sheer need in our community, especially as the population continues to grow,” Stahl wrote in a news release.
The new unit is expected to open at the end of the year.
Plans have begun to add a second medical office building and ambulatory surgical center to the White Oak campus.
