HSHS Sacred Heart hospital will host an open house on Mar. 7 at its newly remodeled emergency and trauma center.
The free event, which will run from 1 to 3 p.m., is open to the community. A noon ribbon-cutting ceremony with the Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce will precede the open house.
The remodeled space incorporates a significant redesign of the patient registration, waiting and triage areas and adds four new patient rooms. The waiting areas for the hospital’s emergency and urgent care departments have been separated to improve privacy.
The waiting areas will also offer free Wi-Fi charging stations for patients’ personal devices, as part of the effort to enhance the general experience at the center while handling an increasing number of patients.
The center, at 900 W. Clairemont Ave., will be open to treat patients starting on Mar. 10.
