Breaking Ground - April 11, 2008
Hospital Administrator James Tyler joined Carilion Clinic President and CEO Ed Murphy, MD, Carilion Clinic Board Chairman James Hartley, Congressman Rick Boucher and a host of community supporters to ceremonially toss the first shovels of earth.
"This is an incredible thing for our community," Tyler said. "A hospital brings so much benefit, economic and health-related. The outstanding staff of this hospital and the people of this region have supported each other for so many years, its wonderful that we will have a facility to be proud of for generations to come."
In addition to the groundbreaking, hospital officials unveiled a new name for the new facility - Carilion Giles Community Hospital, to underscore its commitment of services to the community, and the community's support.
Site preparation on the former Dogwood Farm Property, is already underway to prepare for construction of the $50 million, 85,000 square-foot hospital. The new facility is 25,ooo square feet larger than the existing hospital, and will have room for additional services, including stereo-tactic breast biopsy, nuclear medicine, and rotating specialists.
The new hospital will be finished in 2 years, the spring of 2010. Once it is complete, hospital staff will spend several months training in the facility and becoming familiar with new equipment before patients are moved.
