Oswego Health plans to turn the former Lee Memorial Hospital building into what its CEO calls “a shining star” of health care for the community.
CEO Ann Gilpin unveiled plans for a $17 million renovation of the building, which Oswego Health uses now for an urgent care center and some health services.
When the work is complete, the entire building will be in use.
Community members that visited Oswego Health’s booth at Fairgrieve Elementary’s recent Health and Science Fair could look through a microscope at petri dishes containing a positive flu test, bacteria and blood.
Oswego Health’s Behavioral Services will hold educational presentations on a variety of common parenting issues specific to children diagnosed with mental health or emotional disturbance during the year.
When the call went out from the American Patchwork & Quilting Magazine for quilters to make and donate one million pillowcases, a group of longtime quilting friends sewed nearly 100 colorful pillowcases that they donated to Oswego Hospital for use by pediatric surgery patients.
Following three months of construction the new entrance and lobby opened April 7th. The completely renovated space includes a reception center, patient registration offices and a comfortable waiting area. The expanded lobby also features a snack bar and gift shop operated by members of the Oswego Health Auxiliary.
