Use: This renovation to the Newport Hospital Emergency Department resulted in the newly named John A. and Hope H. van Beuren Emergency Department. The project began in June 2018 and was completed in 15 months. The refurbishment both modernized and expanded the facility, increasing the number of beds from 17 to 29 and the overall footprint to over 20,000 square feet, with capacity to serve more than 40,000 patients annually. The space is now a state-of-the-art facility, with a contemporary design, features and key innovations, including a tripling of the facility’s triage space, a dedicated Behavioral Health Pod, a Clinical Decision Unit area for observation of patients and a results lounge.
