(GREAT BEND, KS) - Great Bend Regional Hospital, the newest hospital in Kansas, opened today to provide residents in the central part of the state with exciting new options for obtaining healthcare services. The hospital was developed through an expansion of the former Surgical and Diagnostic Center of Great Bend.
The new hospital features 33 beds, private labor and delivery rooms, dedicated pediatric facilities and an emergency room that will be open 24/7 to serve the community. The facility includes 17 private patient rooms, four private labor and delivery suites, four private post-partum rooms, four dedicated pediatric beds and four ICU beds. It was developed as a joint venture between area physicians and Nueterra Healthcare.
"Providing a state-of-the-art hospital for residents of central Kansas has been a dream of mine ever since we opened the Diagnostic Center in 2001," said Dr. Roger Marshall, chairman of the hospital's Board of Managers. "As an OB/GYN, I am especially excited to be able to provide expectant mothers and their newborns with a new level of care in our private birthing suites, Level II nursery and dedicated pediatric beds."
The hospital will also provide patients with the convenience of being able to get all of their healthcare needs in one location through its full-service laboratory and imaging services.
Great Bend Regional Hospital is located at 514 Cleveland St. More information about the hospital is available at www.greatbendregionalhospital.com.
