Glens Falls Hospital is embarking on a major
\nrenovation of its West Lobby to improve the flow
\nof patients registering for outpatient laboratory
\nand medical imaging services, and provide an
\noverall more welcoming experience for patients
\nand visitors.<\/p>\n

The $1.9 million project started in July and is
\npart of the $25 million in technology and facility
\ninvestments being made at the hospital in 2015.<\/p>\n

Officials said the work is expected to be
\ncompleted by the end of the year, and the lobby
\nwill remain open throughout most of the construction.
\nThe West Lobby served as the main entrance
\nto the hospital until the opening of the Northwest
\nTower in 2005 and is still the primary entrance
\nfor outpatient laboratory and medical imaging
\nservices, and for visitors to The Snuggery and
\nother inpatient services.<\/p>\n

“The renovation of the West Lobby is the latest
\nof our continuous investments to ensure that our
\ntechnology, facilities and services deliver the best
\npossible experience for patients and visitors,”
\nsaid President and CEO Dianne Shugrue.<\/p>\n

“This is an extremely busy area for patient
\nregistrations, and a major entryway to key parts
\nof the hospital. We’re going to improve the flow
\nof traffic through the area, and give it a nicer,
\nmore inviting look at the same time,” she added.<\/p>\n

The registration area and employee offices
\nthat are now on the left side of the West Lobby as
\npeople enter from the street will be relocated to
\nthe opposite side. The left side of the lobby will
\nbe converted to a more spacious and comfortable
\nwaiting area.<\/p>\n

Officials said farther down the west corridor,
\nthe reception area for Medical Imaging and the
\nBreast Center will also be renovated.
\nIn addition to the interior renovations, the
\nWest Entrance will receive a new exterior canopy
\nto help protect visitors from bad weather.<\/p>\n

“The patient and visitor experience begins the
\nmoment someone steps foot on hospital property,”
\nsaid Paul Scimeca, senior vice president and chief
\noperating officer. “We’re committed to putting our
\nbest foot forward every step of the way.”<\/p>\n
