The following upgrades will be made according to a press release by RHMPI:
Upgrades to clinical and medical equipment;
Improvements to laboratory capabilities and clinical support areas;
Enhancements to X-ray and diagnostic imaging capabilities;
Modernization of information technology, telecommunications, and other technology infrastructure;
Improvements to roads, parking areas, and patient access surrounding the health center;
Renovation and modernization of clinical, administrative, and patient-care spaces;
Improvements designed to enhance patient flow, operational efficiency, accessibility, privacy, safety, and the overall patient experience; and
Infrastructure improvements that will better position the facility to meet the evolving healthcare needs of Perry County residents.
“Our vision is to create a Uniontown Health Center that reflects the level of excellence our patients deserve: modern, safe, accessible, technologically advanced, and designed around the needs of the community," said Keshee Dozier-Smith, CEO.
"We want our patients to know that living in a rural community should never mean having to accept less when it comes to the quality of their healthcare environment or their ability to access comprehensive services."
