AMERICUS —
Progress continues to be made on all three support buildings at the Phoebe Sumter construction site on U.S. highways 19 and 280, but the bigger news is that work has begun on the actual hospital.
The Women’s and Family Health Center is furthest along of the three support buildings, but extensive progress has been made on both the Oncology and Surgery Center as well as the Wellness and Education Center. The biggest buzz comes from the work that is being done on the new Phoebe Sumter Medical Center, as workers have begun to lay a foundation for the basement of the four-story facility and will continue to work on it in addition to the three support buildings.
Phoebe Sumter’s three medical office buildings are expected to be up and running by the end of this year. Of those, one will house obstetrics, gynecology, pediatrics and family practice while another will house oncology and general surgeons, and the third, orthopedics, wellness, fitness and education.
A brand-new, state of the art new hospital is expected to be up and operation by the end of 2011. The new Phoebe Sumter Medical Center will be four stories and feature 76 beds, and according to CEO Keith Petersen, it will be “the finest small hospital in America.”
While the new four-story, 76-bed state of the art medical facility is under construction, the existing medical center on Forsyth Street continues to provide medical services.
