Rose Hill is pleased to announce that construction has started on a Visitors Center & Administrative Building near the campus entrance. This new building will have office space for the admissions, marketing, development and administrative departments. It is the necessary first step toward achieving Rose Hill's ultimate goal: enhancing the patient experience and improving safety.
A hallmark of Rose Hill's campus has always been the home-like environment where patients live in residences that have spacious family living rooms, kitchens, outdoor patios or decks, game rooms, shared privacy bathrooms and bedrooms that are either private or shared. Recently, however, Rose Hill has not been able to meet the ever increasing demand for private rooms. Recognizing the obvious - a shared bedroom should not be the stumbling block between a
prospective patient and the life-changing treatment provided at Rose Hill - the Board developed a comprehensive plan to address this issue as well as other campus modifications.
The plan unfolds by first constructing a new office building, then relocating the increased number of staff offices that have been, with no other space available, housed in residence buildings and, finally, renovating those rooms into single bedrooms. This will also free up space to add an examining room/infirmary for patients with highly complex medical/pharmacology issues.
The entire project includes renovations to current bathrooms, upgrades to existing infrastructure, the construction of a pedestrian sidewalk with additional lighting and a fitness trail that will encircle the campus perimeter for year-round use. These projects, and others, will be funded by a $2.5 million capital campaign, Visioning Brighter Futures: Campaign for Excellence that is expected to wrap up by the end of the year.
