A rendering of planned renovations at Unity Health’s hospital in Jacksonville.
Steven Webb knows that turning around the former North Metro Medical Center in Jacksonville is going to be a challenge, but the Unity Health president and CEO is up for it.
Unity Health of Searcy has already turned around a hospital in Newport that it acquired in 2015, and has navigated the pandemic without laying off or furloughing any of its 2,300 employees.
Webb said Unity would ask the Arkansas Department of Health to relicense it, and Unity will start an $8 million renovation project that includes expanding the emergency department. The renovation will feature 14 exam rooms and four triage rapid treatment rooms, Webb said. In addition, there will be about 10 acute observation beds next to the ER.
