Parkview Whitley Hospital is investing in the healthcare of tomorrow today, constructing a new $40 million facility on 42 partially wooded acres at the junction of US 30 and SR 205 in Whitley County.
Designed for easier access, the new facility will meet changing patient expectations in comfort, convenience and safety. Patient rooms will be focused on comfort and convenience, designed to accommodate in-room treatment. Overall, the hospital will provide greater access for outpatient procedures – a growing trend in healthcare as technology improves the patient experience, medical procedures and ultimate outcomes for better health.
Other features of the new hospital include:
- 21 spacious, private inpatient medical/surgical rooms, each 303 square feet in size, with three distinct areas for the patient, nurses and physicians and the family
