The Tulsa Well being Division's James O. Goodwin Well being Middle is quickly closed whereas it undergoes renovations.
Well being middle officers mentioned the ability had by no means undergone a renovation of this magnitude and has been open since 1998.
The Tulsa Well being Division mentioned that starting July 29, the plan is to renovate the principle entrance to make it extra welcoming and ADA compliant.
Air flow techniques may also be upgraded, and THD plans to modernize medical companies, the Very important Data Workplace and a part of the Environmental Well being Companies Program.
Non-clinical companies similar to environmental well being, meals safety, water lab and SoonerCare enrollment help will stay open through the rework. Start and dying certificates may also be accessible.
Affiliate Government Director Reggie Ivey mentioned the aim of the $5 million venture is to enhance services for the group.
“Now we have been engaged on modernizing all of our services for the previous six years and this explicit facility is the final one which we’re going to do a serious rework. We wish to guarantee that we enhance the client expertise when interacting with the Tulsa Well being Division. Plus, they need to be in an aesthetically pleasing location,” Ivey mentioned.
Development can be carried out in two phases. The primary part is predicted to be accomplished in January and the second in June 2025.
