We're making great progress at the new hospital site on Big Timber and Randall Roads.

  • Terrazzo is being poured.
  • Painting continues.
  • Nurses’ stations are installed.
  • The kitchen, conference rooms, and volunteer spaces are being framed.
  • The hydro elevators are installed.
  • Exterior doors are being installed in various locations.
  • The floor has been poured for the cancer center.
  • We are installing drywall in the ER.
  • Finishes are ongoing.
  • Currently over 200 tradesmen on site.
 

Highlights of the replacement hospital include better comfort with all private rooms, greater conveniences and easier access and the same commitment to high quality care, all at a modern, attractive facility. A larger, more efficient emergency department will accommodate the increasing numbers of patients we treat. And, other amenities will be designed with patient satisfaction in mind.

Our goal is to engage our employees, physicians, community organizations and government representatives to help make our plans a reality. Together we can carry on the Sherman tradition of excellence and commitment to our community for years to come.
