Letter from Jim Brown, CEO

I hope you have begun to notice elements of our facility refresh. I am very excited about these
improvements and I believe you will be as well. I wanted to highlight enhancements that have
been made as well as those are scheduled in the near future.

• New landscaping has been installed in our main driveway as well as at the breezeway between
the hospital and Professional Building I.
• The week of June 24, 119 new patient beds arrived in the hospital.
• Branded golf carts are now patrolling the front and Professional Building I parking lots to transport
visitors from their vehicles to our building entrances.
• We have finalized furniture selections for our public lobbies, patient rooms, Founders Room, and
Physician Dining Room.
• Window curtains are being removed from patient rooms and walls are being patched and
painted.
• Construction in the Founders Room will commence the third week of July.
• Construction in the Physician Dining Room is anticipated in mid-August

• New task chairs have been ordered for all of our clinical areas.
• The hospital’s main lobby will be renovated in the fall with all furniture and art being replaced.

By no means is this an all-inclusive list of facility improvements in which we intend to invest. In
addition to major projects, we’ve begun an ongoing surveillance program to identify minor
projects to be completed on an ongoing basis. I believe this project list was substantive enough to
share all that we have going on.
