Follow this page as we continue to post updates to our surgical expansion project!

Gonzales Healthcare Systems is excited to break ground on our surgical wing expansion and inpatient room remodel project.  Discussions of this project first began over three years, and all the preparations have finally come together for this project to officially take off.

We will be expanding our surgical area, creating a wing off the backside of the hospital next to the current ambulance bay.  This expansion boasts an addition of 12,000 square feet.  The space will include three operating rooms with state-of-the-art equipment, including robot capabilities.  A dedicated entrance will allow surgical patients to enter and leave easily and as comfortable as possible.

With this expansion, we hope to provide a wider array of surgical services on top of what we currently offer now.  Our administration team has been actively working to recruit new surgical specialists to come to Gonzales and provide their services, allowing our residents to receive their care here at home, without having to travel out of town.  After all, we pride ourselves on providing quality healthcare close to home.  This project will allow us to continue to do just that.

While construction begins on the expansion, we will simultaneously begin remodeling our inpatient rooms.  Our current inpatient layout offers some “community” style features, and this remodel will allow for each inpatient room to have it’s own full ensuite bathroom, creating a more comfortable hospital stay.  Patient care and satisfaction is our highest priority and these updated patient rooms will help enhance our patient’s overall experience with us.

Groundbreaking ceremony was held August 22nd, with many local officials and residents in attendance to kick off the project.  Work is slated to be complete in 14 months.
