Skyline Hospital, governed by a five-member Board of Commissioners, has always garnered great public support. And no where is that more evident than in the series of upgrades they have undergone about every ten years since inception. Skyline Hospital was originally constructed in 1952 through the Hill-Burton Act, with the addition of one wing in the early 1970’s.
Another $2.7 million renovation (funded through a super-majority bond) in 1998 enhanced the facility with a new surgery suite, emergency room, physical therapy room, laboratory and admitting area. A year later, the hospital purchased an adjoining seven-acre parcel of land to facilitate our long-range plans.
More recently, the ground broke again in 2008 to construct a new patient wing. The wing opened in September 2009, when the contractors move in to gut a portion of the original building to make room for our growing diagnostic imaging department among other services. The estimated completion date for the second phase of this renovation is early 2010.
