Ashley Regional Medical Center welcomed the public to the new Women’s Center for an open house on Wednesday. Ashley Regional CEO Ben Cluff presented about the new facility during Tuesday’s Vernal Chamber luncheon. Cluff emphasized that this opening is with great appreciation to LifePoint Health for their willingness to invest in this community even during downturn in the economy. Ashley Regional broke ground on the Women’s Center in October 2016 as part of a $35 million dollar expansion and renovation project of the hospital with the Women’s Center and an ICU as the focal point of the project. The three-story 30,000 square foot tower houses the Women’s Center with a new C-section room and new labor and postpartum rooms as well as the ICU with a fully renovated medical-surgical unit. While there is still areas to complete in the expansion and renovation project, completed areas will now be utilized.
