The New Springfield Regional Medical Center:

Now Open

The new Springfield is a 254-bed, 475,000-square-foot, full service medical facility, with all private rooms equipped with the most advanced technology. 

Ground was broken in October 2008 to begin construction of the state-of-the-art, full service hospital, which will open this coming November, at the corner of Plum and North Streets in downtown Springfield. 

Here are just a few of the special features the hospital includes:

• Expanded Emergency Center
• Three-story Women's Health Pavilion
• Attached medical office building
• Expansive dining area with large windows overlooking Buck Creek
• Wireless capabilities
• HEPA Air filters in the Emergency Department and operating rooms; expandable to other areas of the hospital
• Anti-microbial paint and hardware coatings to inhibit the growth of bacteria
• Environmental control of room lighting, temperature, nurse call and a flat panel TV from the bed
• High-tech beds that patients love for the comfort and staff appreciates for the safety features.
• Nine-foot windows that allow more natural light into rooms for a positive healing environment.
• Around-the-clock visiting hours (in most patient rooms) and a pull-out couch to encourage families to connect with their loved ones in a comfortable setting.
