Cuero, Texas: Cuero Regional Hospital is pleased to announce the scheduled opening of the newly renovated Emergency Department (ED) has been set for early August. The 1.5 million renovation project features about 1,000 square feet of additional space, six full private treatment rooms, additional private patient registration areas, as well as an upgraded nurses' station and new triage area to improve patient flow through the ED as well. Prior to the renovation, three existing ED patient rooms were curtained off, but have now been transformed into private exam suites with doors to increase privacy and comfort.

"Our Emergency Department already features skilled, caring physicians and staff; with this expansion and new design, our ED space is much more pleasing and functional for patient care and visitors. We are eager to open the doors to serve the public in early August," said Lynn Falcone, Cuero Health CEO.

A Chamber ribbon cutting and reception will be held on Tuesday, July 17th at 5:30 p.m. The public is invited to attend to preview the new space, meet the patient care team and enjoy light refreshments. The Emergency Department will be operational and taking patients starting early August.

"Our ED is staffed by highly trained and caring physicians and nurses," said Judy Mazak, Director of the ED. "We truly are quality care close to home."

The Day Surgery unit had been temporarily moved to the second floor of the hospital to allow for the ED to be housed in their space during the renovation process. With the ED renovation complete, the Day Surgery Department will resume patient care in their unit in mid-August.

Cuero Regional Hospital is located at 2550 N. Esplanade in Cuero, Texas and offers an EDLevel IV Trauma Center, on-staff General Surgeon, and a TeleStroke program. For more information, please visit www.cuerohospital.org or call (361) 275-6191.
