Construction could begin as early as this spring on the renovation and expansion of Oktibbeha County Hospital.
The Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors Monday voted to advertise this month for construction bids on the project. Supervisors will open the bids Jan. 21 at 10 a.m. in the boardroom of the Oktibbeha County Courthouse.
Hospital Chief Executive Officer Arthur “Sonny” Kelly said it will probably be late March or early April before construction begins.
As part of the renovations, new patient rooms will be constructed and old rooms will be renovated, Kelly said. Additional patient rooms will be located in a new tower the hospital plans to have built.
Among other improvements, the hospital will renovate its birthing suites and, when complete, the facility will feature a state-of-the-art Caesarian section suite and recovery area. Patients also will encounter a brand new newborn nursery and viewing area, enlarged nurse stations and patient triage and observation rooms.
