STARKVILLE -- The four phases of the Oktibbeha County Hospital's expansion project are moving along as planned. The 96-bed public medical facility is now in phase three and will begin the final phase in August.
Administrator Arthur C. "Sonny" Kelly says the expansion will triple the space of several ancillary services, including surgery, radiology, laboratory, emergency room and respiratory therapy.
"We were so short of space. Just about everything is increasing," he said. "We will have 110,00 square feet of new space and 56,000 square feet of renovated space. Our last increase was in 1984. It was planned to hold us for 10 years, but it didn't."
