Changes At RM Hospital Amid New Construction
Ransom Memorial administrator Steve Lott said major changes at the old hospital accompany ongoing work on a new building. Front entrance removal redirects traffic to the south entrance while a sidewalk and rear drives are modified for a future tunnel and boiler-house project. Visitors use the southwest lot, staff the southeast lot, and emergency access routes shift to the east drive. A hospital auxiliary member will guide traffic. The north circular drive closes next Monday. rear drive traffic will move to an east two-way drive until the tunnel is built and the drive is torn up by about Dec. 1. Deliveries will occur through the south door or rear storeroom.
