It’s been decades since the former Burke County Library doors were open to the public, and
in recent years the building has been used as storage for Burke Medical Center.
Former Library under
renovation by Burke Health
Burke Hospital Company is
repurposing a building former
ly used as the county library.
As part of a comprehensive
plan to upgrade the hospital
facilities and bring in new
services, renovations have
begun to convert the former
library building on 4th Street
for Burke Therapy (formerly
Burke Medical Center Reha
bilitation), which currently
offers physical, occupational,
and speech therapies.
The layout and abundant
space of the facility is the
perfect venue for a therapy
clinic and will be able to ac
commodate the hospital’s need
to serve more patients as the
orthopedics, sports medicine
and cardiovascular programs
expand.
Along with the opening of
the new facility, Burke Therapy
will also be offering cardiac
rehab. For the first time in our
community, patients that have
experienced, heart attack, heart
failure, angioplasty, or heart
surgery, will have access to a
medically supervised program
to improve their cardiovascular
health.
More information will be
provided as the project nears
completion.
