\nThe following is a look at the hospital\u2019s expansion and renovation work over the past 50 years.
\nSeptember 20, 1954
\nTyrone Hospital opened its doors and treated its first patient.
\nThe initial square footage of the hospital when it opened in 1954 was estimated to be 14,500 sq. ft.
\n1979-1982
\nTyrone Hospital\\’s diagnostic and inpatient facilities were updated. A new wing expanded the laboratory and radiology departments. A new emergency department was added and the area used for physical therapy was expanded. A doctor\\’s dictation area, a larger business office and new patient rooms were among the improvements. A new elevator, additional obstetrics facilities, improvements to the surgical suite and an intensive cardiac care unit were part of the project. An estimated 60,000 square feet was added to the hospital during this construction\/renovation project.
\n 1982
\nThe Tyrone Hospital Board of Directors, in an effort to obtain the advantages of cooperative experience, voted to become a managed facility of HCA currently known as Quorum Health Resources, Inc. and the hospital has remained a Quorum managed facility since then.
\n1984
\nThis was a year of expansion of services. Clinics in ophthalmology, urology, and orthopedics were established and the ICCU was expanded.
\nLaser technology was added to the hospital\\’s surgical capabilities. An outdoor solarium was added.
\n1986-1987
\nThe hospital acquired equipment for mammography, arthroscopic surgery, a chemical analyzer for the laboratory, and a C-arm image intensifier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
