After 6 years in the making the Cape Fear Valley Hospital here in Fayetteville has just completed construction on the Valley Pavilion expansion project. The Bauhaus design influenced structure features metal archways, silvery finished wall panels and expansive glass work that gives the hospital a new sleek look.
"Its the kind of facility Cumberland County has deserved for a really long time," says Braxton Strickland Administrative Director of Non-Invasive Cardiac Diagnostics for the Heart & Vascular Center.
The new patient friendly designed Valley Pavilion boasts larger patient rooms, enhanced reception areas for family and visitors, and a new emergency department features all private rooms.
The patient rooms are now 50% larger and more technology has been brought bedside with personal computers in every room. The new modular bed system will minimize the needs to move patients from unit to unit as they recover from surgery. Patients will be able to stay in the original room they were assigned and their status will be updated in the electronic tracking system. Even more important the number of patient beds has increased significantly. The emergency dept. has 3 times more beds than before. All total there are around 132 inpatient and observation beds.
The Valley Pavillion contains a new Heart & Vascular center boasting labs featuring the latest technology for diagnosing and treating heart disease. There is also a Bariatric center, Women's Pavillion, Imaging Center, and a brand new Children's Emergancy Dept.
I forgot to mention there is a new 5 story parking deck as well that makes finding parking at this hospital much easier then years past.
