GREENVILLE — Employees, hospital supporters, patients, and community members gathered on Friday, Sept. 9 to watch the final steel beam placed on the Buck Family Building, Northern Light CA Dean Hospital’s future main hospital building.
Hundreds of employees and community members have signed the beam over the past week. Their signatures will be a permanent part of the new hospital building for decades to come.
BEAM IT UP – The final steel beam is placed on the Buck Family Building, Northern Light CA Dean Hospital’s future main hospital building, on Sept. 9 in Greenville.
“We’ve arrived at this important moment thanks to the incredible support we’ve received from our donors and community and the hard work of our staff, the architects, and the construction crew,” says Marie Vienneau, FACHE, president, CA Dean Hospital. “It’s truly an honor to join those who are here to celebrate this special time in our hospital’s history.”
The new hospital will be a modern, patient and family-focused facility built for how healthcare is delivered today.
