MAURY REGIONAL HEALTH FACILITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN

Maury Regional Health is launching an extensive $115 million facility improvement plan to enhance patient care and experience, according to CEO Martin Chaney, MD.

“This will be the first major construction project at Maury Regional Medical Center in approximately 20 years to enhance the patient experience and expand access to care,” said Dr. Chaney. “As more patients continue to choose Maury Regional Health for their care, we are recruiting physicians to support growing service lines, offering additional services, and expanding our facilities to meet the changing needs of our community.”

The facility improvement plan for Maury Regional Medical Center in Columbia will include:

Two new floors added to the patient tower, with the seventh floor being completed for high-acuity patient care and the eighth shelled for future expansion

The Emergency Department will be fully renovated and expanded, including 10 additional treatment areas for a total of 48

Renovations in the main inpatient surgical unit and the addition of at least four new outpatient surgical suites in the Pavilion along with a new central sterile processing department

Expansions on the childbirth floor to accommodate a growing number of births

Full renovations of the cafeteria on the ground floor and café on the first floor

Exterior upgrades to modernize the façade and create a new drive-through lane separating traffic from the drop-off area at the main entrance to enhance safety

Expansions in the Heart Center, which recently upgraded two cardiac catheterization labs, to include expanded procedural areas following the relocation of cardiac rehabilitation to a more accessible area on campus

New color palettes and finishes utilized throughout the project timeline

As a part of the improvement plan, Maury Regional Health will also establish a health park in Lawrenceburg to provide primary care and a physician specialist clinic.

“On December 16, 1953, Maury Regional Health opened its doors and admitted our first patient.” Dr. Chaney said. “For the past 70 years, we have welcomed generations of newborns and provided life-saving care to patients. As we embark on this renovation and expansion plan, we strengthen our commitment to provide clinical excellence and compassionate care to our region for decades to come.”

Maury Regional Health has selected Wold Architects & Engineers as the design firm. Wold is a full-service design firm focused on sustainable architecture and engineering for education, government, health care, and senior living communities.
