Over the past two years, we've seen many new changes to our facility. In 2019, we completed renovations of our postpartum unit and emergency room. By the end of 2019, we finished our $2.5 million expansion of the emergency room's ambulance canopy and added an additional operating room.

In July 2020, we opened our new $11.5 million freestanding emergency room (ER). Panama City Emergency is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is located on Highway 231, just north of Transmitter Road. As a fully functional emergency department, the ER includes 11 private patient care rooms, a dedicated cardiac/respiratory resuscitation room, a full hospital lab and diagnostic imaging services, including X-ray, computerized tomography (CT) scan and ultrasound.

At the end of 2020, our hospital expanded and renovated our main campus. The $62 million construction project added nearly 67,000 square feet and 60 new beds, including the addition of a fourth and fifth floor to the north tower. A connector from the third floor of the north tower to the main facility was also constructed. The fourth floor houses a new medical/surgical floor featuring 24 private patient rooms. The fifth floor houses a state-of-the-art, 20-bed acute inpatient rehabilitation facility. In addition, we will add a third floor to the south tower, housing a new 16-bed surgical intensive care unit.
