ble in physician offices,”
commented Donna Hopson,
director of information sys
tems and laboratory services.
The third area involved in
this phase of relocation and
expansion is the Neuro ICU
(intensive care unit) located
on the first floor of the hospi
tal.
Neuro ICU will be adding
a new family waiting area and
private physician consult
room. This addition will add
a dedicated waiting area for
patient families similar to the
ICU and CCU waiting areas
on the second floor.
“The addition of a more
private waiting area for our
Neuro ICU area demonstrates
the hospital’s commitment to
meeting the needs of our
patients and their families,"
said chief nursing officer
Jeanne Reeves.
"We recognize that the
families of patients in our
intensive care areas may be
going through a very anxious
and difficult time and we
want to provide them with a
more private space where
they can rest and relax for a
few moments," Reeves said.
(NFRH), opened in 1983,
is a 167-bed, acute-care com
munity hospital located on
Hwy. 9 (Alpharetta Highway)
in Roswell. NFRH serves
North Fulton and surrounding
counties through its team of
more than 1.000 employees,
450 affiliated physicians and
250 volunteers.

ices offered at North Fulton
Regional Hospital can be
