VGH Hospital and Clinic leaders cut the ribbon for the new areas on Friday.
Virginia Gay Hospital and Clinic leaders gathered in Van Horne on Friday to celebrate the completion of the renovation/expansion project, which includes adding another 1,100 square feet to the existing 2,200, and substantially enlarging the patient parking area.
Funding for the $450,000 expansion and renovation was allocated for structural improvements, new patient examination rooms, new laboratory and nursing station, improved waiting rooms, and needed storage space. Patients now are greeted with an expanded and accessible parking lot, new sidewalks and an attractive facade.
