CRETE AREA MEDICAL CENTER

This trail can help you improve wellness while circling CAMC campus renovations

Crete Area Medical Center has completed Phase 1 of its renovation and expansion project — and beautiful new additions for patients and the community have emerged, including a peaceful walking trail, spacious clinic rooms and new delivery and postpartum rooms.

Walking trail

A nearly two-mile sidewalk trail now weaves its way through 30 acres of land surrounding the medical center, helping promote health and wellness. Along with walkers who use the Crete Carrier Walking Trail, the project’s Amish gliders, benches, pond and large outdoor pavilion offer gathering places and additional sites for events and educational programs.

“People can relax, enjoy the water feature and wildlife — it all makes for a great walking trail and helps us provide community wellness, which is one of the things we take pride in,” notes CAMC President and CEO Stephanie Boldt.

A donation from the Acklie Charitable Foundation made the trail possible.

Labor and Delivery Suite

A renovated and expanded Labor and Delivery Suite opened to families in midOctober. Only four days later, the first baby was delivered in the new space. The two delivery rooms, post-partum rooms and nursery provide families with spacious and updated surroundings.

Family Practice Clinic

The first stage of the renovation of the Family Practice Clinic is completed, and patients marvel at the difference in the size of the clinic rooms, Boldt says.

There’s more to come

Phase 2 construction is under way with completion scheduled for mid-2022. A new surgery wing is emerging with two operating rooms and three recovery rooms. Renovation of the second half of the Family Practice Clinic also is moving along quickly. Once completed, the outpatient specialty clinic will be remodeled, creating more exam rooms, and in turn allowing additional specialist providers to bring their care to Crete. n
