Challenged by a growing population and aging facilities, REES worked with Nor-Lea’s leadership to develop multiple expansion options to meet the hospital’s needs. After evaluation, the hospital Board opted to build a new facility to link the existing hospital and outpatient clinic and renovate selected portions of the existing facilities. The 21,000-square-foot expansion gives the Critical Access Hospital the ability to provide new services and state-of-the-art care. The hospital includes an MRI suite, Cancer Treatment Center, Endoscopy Clinic, Conference Center, Laboratory, and a new kitchen and dining area.
