Parker:
I'm excited about our bronch suite. All the equipment that we have, we'll have tons of space. Having more space for our equipment, it'll make our jobs easier, so that meant a lot to me.

Reanna Thomas:
Wow. [laughing]

Taylor:
I like high-tech things that are new and innovative. The OR, I kind of walked in the door and looked at the practicality of it. That's going to really be good. Having that space.

Ultrasound Technologist]

Ansted:
Big. Lots of windows, natural light. Like the break rooms where we get to go do lunch. The cafeteria, how much room there is to walk around, all the seating, how you can walk outside. That'll be nice.

Hassanatu Conteh
Patient Care Associate]

Conteh:
The patients — the way it's set up where we have supplies, we don't have to run out of the room and go get supplies while we are helping a patient. That is so amazing. The windows, the natural lighting, especially some of our patients that can't go out. This lighting alone, it's like the feeling like they're outside. And I know me, my coworkers, my patients can't wait to be here.

What stood out to me the most was the different patient areas and the nice, beautiful rooms that the patient is going to have an opportunity to have as they stay here in the hospital.

Respiratory Therapist]

Franklin:
It's big. It's got a lot of space, a lot of amenities for everyone. There's so much room for growth and possibilities and there's so much room to learn and advance what we already do.

Joseph:
I'm just happy that the hospital created this space to provide more services to our community and to make it high-tech so a patient can have the best possible care. 


Thomas:
It's almost time. We're almost there. The wait is almost over. 

Conteh:
We cannot wait. Yes. Everything is amazing, and we'll be happy to be here. Can't wait.
