Building for the future
We’re growing for you! Since the May 22, 2011, tornado, we've responded to our community's needs by enhancing our current services and opening new facilities. Throughout the health system, we're adding patient beds, expanding our medical and behavioral health services, investing in new technology, and providing community outreach programs.
Please pardon any inconvenience caused by construction—we’ll do our best to keep the noise level to a minimum. Most construction work occurs 8 am-6 pm. Please let us know if there’s anything we can do to make your stay with us more comfortable.
Freeman West
In 2012, we opened 59 new patient rooms with advanced medical capabilities on the 5th and 6th floors of Gary & Donna Hall Tower. The Cardiac/Medical Unit on the 5th floor, as well as Freeman Infusion Center, opened in March 2012. The Transitional Care Unit/Surgical Intensive Care Unit, on the 6th floor, opened in October 2012.
Freeman West Cafeteria is currently under construction—we’re upgrading dining services, including a complete redesign of the kitchen and cafeteria.
The Daily Grind coffee shop opened in August 2012, proudly serving Starbucks® coffee, Anderson's cinnamon rolls, and cupcakes from cupcakesbyliz.
