Expansion began at Navapache Regional Medical Center in August 2005 with the demolition of the McNary Clinic and relocation of the helipad. The much anticipated expansion provides a five-story patient tower with 81 private patient rooms, including a 12-bed ICU on the first floor, 42 bed Medical/Surgical unit on the first and second floors and Obstetrical and Women’s Health unit on the third and fourth floors. The fifth floor will not be used initially. All units are better designed to accommodate an expanding service line and increase in functionality. The design of the tower took into consideration our patient’s request for all private rooms, providing family the option of rooming together as “Care Partners”.

The Obstetrical and Women’s Health unit will house an observation nursery, a proposed eight-bed Level II nursery, seven Labor and Delivery rooms, a two bed outpatient triage room, and 20 private rooms for couplet care and gynecological surgery patients. The proposed Level II Nursery would have additional equipment and staff to handle newborns that may have the potential for a higher risk during the delivery.

The project was originally designed for three floors with the option for two more, but as the community continued to grow, the Governing Board and Administrators decided to build all five stories to accommodate community needs. The fifth floor will be shelled however, there are currently no plans for it’s use. When community growth calls for the additional space, we will be able to complete construction within approximately six months.

Within the main hospital, the renovation and expansion of our existing kitchen and dining area will better meet the needs of employees and the public. The new dining area will be a warm, relaxing, and casual country dining experience. The outdoor dining will be a calm and refreshing getaway for staff and patient’s family members. We are looking forward to sharing the new dining areas with the community. The project is expected to be completed in 2008.
