$2-m plus in pacts given for Extended Care move

Decatur Daily Democrat:

Contracts for the $2,096,708 renovation project which will result in the Extended Care Unit currently located at the Adams Memorial Hospital between moved to Woodcrest were awarded Wednesday morning in a special meeting of the Adams Health Network Board of Trustees.

The project has come in slightly under the anticipated cost of $2.15 million and hospital officials were told to expect additional savings as a contingency allowance in the budget as $250,000 should be plenty more than what is needed for additions or changes to the project.

The renovation will take the unused Wing B of Woodcrest and make it into a separate entity to be known at the Adams Health Network Rehabilitation Center. The facility will house 14 single-bed rooms.
