Construction UPDATE
In this article I want to update you on five construction projects
that are in various phases of completion.
Ron McArthur, CEO – Summit Healthcare
Gift Shop and Café Expansion Project
- The Volunteer Gift Shop and Café
were recently expanded. The Café was
expanded to allow for the freezer and
refrigerator to be accessible from the
Café. A Sewing Room was added to the
back of the Café along with a Storage
Room. The Gift Shop was expanded to
provide office space for the Director of
Volunteers. This project also included
new flooring, tables and chairs and has
been completed.
Surgical Services Waiting and
Consultation Rooms – The Waiting
Room across from the Registration
Office is being enclosed to provide
a dedicated Surgical Waiting Room
for families along with two enclosed
Consultation Rooms. This project will
be completed by the end of July.
Wound Care/Physical Therapy/Women’s
Imaging Project – The space between
the Atrium and the hallway outside
the Cafeteria is being remodeled to
provide a new Wound Care Center,
a new Physical Therapy Department
and a new Women’s Imaging Center.
The Women’s Imaging Center will
include mammography, ultrasound
and bone densitometry. The Wound
Care Center will house two hyperbaric
oxygen chambers and will be the
first of its kind in rural Arizona. This
project is scheduled to be completed in
November.
Emergency Room Renovation/
Expansion Project - The Emergency
Room is being expanded from 10,000
to 18,000 square feet. The number of
treatment rooms is being increased from
15 cubicles to 31 enclosed treatment
rooms. The expansion also includes
the addition of 5 fast track rooms and
6 observation rooms. Phase I of the
remodeling project has been completed.
ER staff moved into the new space

These projects will complement the
construction of the Patient Tower, which
was completed in 2008, will provide for
a number of new services and will update
and modernize several departments. We
continue to grow to meet the needs of the
communities that we serve with our overall
goal of keeping healthcare on the Mountain.
Please thank our Governing Board
members for their support in approving
these construction projects.
With warmest regards,
