FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2019 BAKER CITY HERALD — 3A HOSPITAL L OCAL B RIEFING Continued from Page 1A At night, the door leading to the hospital will be locked, restricting access to only the emergency department. “It will be a lot safer for colleagues and patients,” Huggins said. The ER area is now completely walled off from the dining area, which was expanded during an earlier phase of the project. The emergency depart- ment remodel started in August. The ER remained open although patients had to register through the hospi- tal’s main entrance where an ER receptionist has been available 24 hours a day. This process remains in place until the construction is fi nished. Signs are posted out- side the entrance, as well as inside the hospital hallways. Ambulances will still use the same route off Midway Drive to access the emergen- cy department. This remodel is funded in part by money raised at the 2018 Festival of Trees, a total of $33,980. The remaining funds came from the Leo Adler Founda- tion ($42,034), Leo Adler Endowment Fund held in the Saint Alphonsus Founda- tion ($42,034), and $11,277 from the Saint Alphonsus Foundation.
