The Humboldt County Memorial Hospital (HCMH) board of trustees broke ground Sept. 14 on the projected $7.6 million, approximately total 6,600 sq ft., Radiology and Surgery expansion project.
Contractors for the project include; Graham Construction out of Des Moines, Sande Construction out of Humboldt, Baker Electric out of Fort Dodge and Midwest Mechanical out of Spencer.
HCMH Board of Trustees Chair, Kevin Bornhoft said, “It’s a nice expansion for the hospital. Provides more services, we relied on the truck coming around occasionally. (Now) we’ll have our own MRI machine so we can serve our community and patients.”
Bornhoft expects to see an increase in patients the hospital will be able to serve with the new project.
He said, “We expect to see an increase for our MRI patients. There will also be more MRI services provided with this machine. So, it’ll be a benefit to the community.”
