Ribbon-Cutting & Open House

SCMC welcomed over 300 community members to the ER Open House on Tues., October 29. Staff in the ER, MRI & NovaCare Depts. provided info in the areas of their upgrades/expansion. Community members were able to tour the new spaces and ask questions to staff. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held prior to the Open House where staff and key stakeholders in the ER Expansion were invited to be a part of this significant upgrade the ER Expansion will have to our community and our patients.

The support and gratitude over the project was overwhelming. We are thrilled with our new space, thank you for sharing in our excitement as we #BuildForTheFuture.
