Plan considerations, along with seismic compliance, would include a new Emergency Department as well as a parking structure. “The Emergency Department is a key area of concern and one of our highest priorities, which are always patient safety and timely access,” said Moran. “In addition, our new facilities will need to ensure patient privacy and comfort, provide easy parking access for the elderly and handicapped, and meet the needs of our employees.”
