St Catherine expands ER with Fast Track upgrade
The hospital in Garden City unveils a Fast Track area to accelerate care in the emergency department. The redesign adds four patient rooms and four infusion rooms, enlarges the waiting room, and speeds triage for non emergent cases while preserving round the clock, specialty emergency care and a three phase improvement plan including ICU and main ER renovations. The expansion is part of a $2 million capital campaign, already 40 percent funded, to ease 17,000 annual visits and cut wait times.
