Emergency Department repairs may cause increased wait times until December 4

The Emergency Department at the Huntsville District Memorial Hospital (HDMH) Site is undergoing a much-needed flooring replacement from November 13 to December 4, 2017.

The flooring replacement work has closed off access to three patient treatment areas, and therefore patients could experience longer wait times as the department has fewer patient care areas available. Flow within the department will be more congested, which may necessitate limits on the number of visitors for Emergency patients inside the department because of the limited space.

“Our staff will do their best to minimize the disruption and impact on patient flow,” says Natalie Bubela, Chief Executive Officer. “We appreciate your patience during the construction period, and your understanding of the potential noise associated with the work.”

  1. I have found the staff in Emerg. always working as hard as they can. I imagine this set back will hardly be noticeable to we, the public. We will be patient and know they are doing the best they can and we are lucky to have them.
