Moses Cone Hospital REVIEW
Aug. - Oct., 1975
EXPANSION NOW UNDERWAY
Where can I get a cup of coffee?
Where do I apply for a Job? Where is
this? Where is that? Conversations in
the Hospital have been mixed with such
questions recently because of the big
construction program now underway.
Despite minor inconveniences now, the
end result promises to be well worth the
wait.
The forty month program, which
involves about 235,000 square feet of
construction, will provide a new Family
Practice Center, Emergency Department, new Surgical Suite, Cardiopulmonary Department and a new six story
bed wing. Also, areas of expansion and
renovation include Pharmacy, Radiology, Medical Records, Admitting, Pur-

The Goal for the Hospital this year was $18,650.00
which means that we
exceeded our
Goal by 5.9%. We still have some
late pledge cards
yet to be turned in and
we hope they
will cause us to have an even better showing.

Unit.
The fifth and sixth floors of the new
patient wing will be used temporarily for
the hospital's AHEC operations and the
fourth floor will be shelled in and
unfinished at this time. Later, when
additional beds are needed, the fourth,
fifth, and sixth floors will be converted
to patient rooms and a separate
education wing planned on the front of
the hospital will be built for the AHEC
operations.
Bids for the project were received on
June 12, 1975, from seven contractors.
A contract was awarded to Mercury
Construction Company, Mongtomery,
Alabama, the low bidder. Subcontractors for the project are W. H. Sullivan
Company, Greensboro, Mechanical
and Plumbing; Starr Electric Company,
Greensboro, Electrical work; J. N.
Pease Associates, Charlotte, Architects.
The total project cost is approximately
$15 million.
Today, while the banging and
clanging continues, one of the frequent
questions is where are various services
now located?
The Emergency Room is located in
the old Personnel wing. Personnel is on
the ground floor where it will remain.
The   Accounting   Department   has
moved temporarily to a trailer located
near the new Personnel Entrance. The
Beauty   Shop   and   Medical   Records
temporarily are in the old Emergency
Department area, and the radiologists
are in the 1500 wing of the first floor.
