FIFTH MAJOR ADDITION BEGINS AS
HOSPITAL ENTERS FOURTH DECADE
OF COMMUNITY SERVICE
Approximately 30 years after The
Moses H. Cone Memorial Hospital
first opened its doors to the community, groundbreaking ceremonies
were taking place for the hospital's
fifth major addition to the original
structure. Greensboro Mayor John
Forbis, a keynote speaker at the
January 16 ceremonies, commended
the hospital, its trustees, the hospital
staff and medical staff for the caliber
of care provided at Moses Cone
Hospital through the years. "I
suspect that you provide care as fine
as is available anywhere in the country," he said.
Dr. Stuart Bondurant, Dean of the
School of Medicine, University of
North Carolina, cited, in his groundbreaking ceremonies address,
statistics such as a 50 percent reduction in maternity death rates occurring in this area since Moses Cone
Hospital began providing health care
and health education.
The groundbreaking marked the
beginning of a multiphased construction and renovation project aimed at
creating essentially a new facility.
Following construction of this new
wing, older sections of the hospital
will be renovated to create new patient care areas.
Construction of the new wing is
scheduled for completion in the Fall
of 1984. As soon as major portions
of the new wing are completed,
renovations on sections of the existing facility will begin. The total
building and renovation project will
be completed in the Fall of 1985.
The principal contractor for the
project is McDevitt and Street
General Contractors of Charlotte,
North Carolina. Subcontractors for
the project include two Greensboro
firms, W. H. Sullivan Mechanical
Contractors and Starr Electric Company. During peak periods, the project will employ 250 construction
personnel.
The cost of this new wing will be
$18 million, which includes both
building and equipment costs. The
entire project, including renovations
to the existing facility and new equipment, will be $30.8 million. The addition and renovations will be paid
for principally with endowment
funds and accumulated reserves.
The new wing will house or provide
for the following:
Basement — additional storage
and new mechanical space;
Ground Floor — a new auditorium
with 250 seating capacity; housing
for AHEC; Staff Development,
Medical Library, a Rehabilitation
unit; expanded food services facilities
and cafeteria;
First Floor — new and expanded
Laboratory and Pathology Department; audiovisual studio and control
room; classroom/auditorium (90 person capacity); office of Graduate
Medical Education; new switchboard facilities; new facilities for the
Schools of Radiologic and Medical
Technology;
Second Floor — a 30-bed medical
surgical patient unit;
Third     Floor     —      A      40-bed
obstetrical/maternity patient unit.
Mayor John Forbis (1) and Dr. Stuart Bondurant (r) give keynote addresses at groundbreaking
ceremonies.
Members of the Board of Trustees break ground.
