Bacon County Hospital Completes Renovation

Bacon County Hospital and Health System began a three phase construction project in July of 2008. This first phase was a second story patient care area consisting of a 4 room private ICU, a 4 room post-partum suite, and 17 private patient rooms. This phase was completed May 2009. The second phase of the project consisted of renovations and additions to the Diagnostic Imaging Department, which now offers state of the art radiology services, including ultrasound with 4d capability, Digital Mammography, 64 Slice Toshiba Aquillion CT, 1.5 Tesla MRI, and Nuclear Medicine making this department totally digital, and the Laboratory Department which is also equipped with state of the art instrumentation.

Benefits of IEHA

There are many benefits to being a member of the Georgia Coastal Chapter of the International Executive Housekeepers Association such as networking; the annual conference and the monthly magazine, Executive Housekeeping Today. However, the one area that I benefit from the most is our local Chapter meetings. I attended a Chapter meeting some time ago that covered the basics of infection control and filed away the information for future reference.
