education center and new office space; a second building will
house an 11,000 square foot cancer center. It is also moving
and expanding services such as women's & children's and
skilled nursing acute care. The organization recently upgraded
all of its information systems with the installation of McKesson
clinical and management information systems and has agreed
to be one of the first sites to install the CPOE system. In
addition, a PACS is being added. As an organization committed
