The numbers will allow most patients to be treated on site, instead of being transferred elsewhere. Every second can count when seeking medical care. The first floor will house the Emergency Department, pharmacy, laboratory, radiology, admissions and surgery. The second floor will be home to cardiopulmonary services, physical and occupational therapy, a medical-surgical unit and a birthing center. The birthing center will have four birthing suites, a dedicated C-section room, and 16 post-partum recovery rooms to better serve the growing number of young families in the area. Hoke Hospital expects to begin deliver- ing babies in April. Patient rooms incorporate expansive windows to naturally illuminate the in- terior. Walls are covered in muted Earth tones and pastels, while cherry-finished cabinetry reaches from the floor to the ceiling. The rooms also have built-in WiFi access and workspaces for tablets and laptops. Just as much thought went into the design of individual departments. The Emergency Department employs a large, circular nurses station in the middle of the unit. The layout allows staff to easily see inside patient rooms, which are enclosed by sliding glass doors. Upstairs, the Physical and Occupational Therapy gymnasium incorporates a wide-open space. This allows for most of the rehabilitation equipment to be placed in the center, allowing for easier access by patients. "They did an amazing job with this hospital," said Sheri Dahman, Hoke Hospital Director of Nursing. "The people are going to love it." Lynda Clark, Vice President of Profes- sional Services agrees. She oversaw facility planning and construction for more than two years. "We think the community will be as excited as we are," she said, "with the healthcare services coming to Hoke County."
