Emergency Department expansion
New Britain General campus
The Hospital of Central Connecticut has begun raising funds to expand and update the Emergency Department (ED) on the New Britain General campus. Campus ED visits have steadily increased in the past 10 years, to more than 63,000 patients in 2005. The ED is at near capacity, with growth expected to continue.
The $6.5 million ED expansion and renovation will include:
- An additional 10,000 square feet and 11 beds (for a total of 45 beds)
- Private rooms instead of beds separated by curtains
- Rooms that will be multi-functional vs. single purpose (e.g. trauma, Ob/Gyn)
- Updated equipment, including technology that will allow transmission of X-ray and CT scan images to physicians, providing them better access to the information they need to treat patients
Construction began in 2006 and will be completed in three phases over two years. This schedule minimizes impact on patients and staff, and allows for continuous and smoothly-functioning emergency service.
