SUMMARY: During the pandemic, a shortage of hospital beds was a crisis faced by many hospitals. To combat this issue, a local hospital in Amry, North Mississippi Medical Center Gilmore, expanded their Intensive Care Unit (ICU) by adding six new beds, bringing the total to 15 beds. The expansion allows patients to receive critical care close to home during their time of need. The facility also added a second negative pressure room to limit the spread of airborne diseases. The $3 million project added 35,500 square feet to the facility and took five months to complete. This expansion aims to prioritize patient care and keep families together during times of health crises.
