arc larger and better equipped than
their predecessors.
Phase one of Perry Hospital's
plan included a new physical
therapy room and a respiratory care
center. A 1,000 square foot
pharmacy was added as part of phase
two, Marchant said.
Under phase three, a new larger
patient waiting room and a new
CAT scan area were added. The old
emergency room was used for these
new additions.
Phase four, which is under
construction, will triple the size of
the kitchen area, which has
remained unchanged since the
hospital opened in 1969. While this
is being completed, the Houston
Medical Center is providing tiic
food for Perry Hospital's patients.
And phase five is also being
completed. Under this plan, all of
the private patient rooms arc being
rc-dccoratcd with new wallpaper,
carpet, windows and dropped
ceilings.
As these programs arc completed,
Perry Hospital is beginning to
renovate other areas, Marchant said.
"It's time to look ahead for goals
for the future," Marchant said.
"There are several growth areas
where we will look for
improvement."
Wo would like to thank everyone
who came by to pay their respects to
Eddieandtoour wonderful neighbors
for the food they brought.
And to Billy and JoAnne Wells for
her beautiful flowers and the time
she spent on them. And a special
thanks to Draper and Riley for mak
ing it more bearable at our time of
need. Eddie will never be forgotten.
