Methodist Medical Center, named Tennessee's top hospital in quality performance by "Health Insight," has provided Oak Ridge and surrounding communities with the latest medical advancements for more than 60 years.

The medical center has recently completed the initial phase of its first major building campaign in 20 years: a $47 million renovation and expansion project designed to enhance customer service and convenience. It includes a new 84,000-square-foot east addition, as well as renovation of 84,000 square feet of existing space. Work will continue through 2007.

• A new emergency department that is twice the size of the old emergency room and includes a fast-track area for non-urgent and routine cases, two x-ray suites that use digital technology to produce images immediately, and a CT scanner.

  Patients who need emergency care and their families should use the Emergency Department entrance, which is clearly marked and faces Tennessee Avenue. Other patients and visitors should enter the medical center through the main entrance, which is located at the East Campus entrance at traffic light #4 facing Oak Ridge Turnpike.

• A state-of-the-art orthopedic surgery suite
• Central registration for inpatient and outpatient procedures
• A three-level, 156-space parking garage with access to all floors of the new addition
• The new Secret City Café
• Expansion of the Pink Placebo gift shop
• The new Ridge Conference Center, which can accommodate 150 people for community events such as the hospital's monthly Health Night on the Town programs

The next phase of construction will increase the number of private patient rooms.
