On May 29th, Rome Health held a ceremonial topping out of its new Intensive Care Unit and Kaplan Center for Surgical Services.
In late April of this year, our construction partner, The Hayner Hoyt Company, delivered a 9-foot white beam to Rome Health. It was placed in the first-floor lobby and staff was invited to sign and leave personal messages on the beam. The response was overwhelming, with the beam quickly filling up with signatures and heartfelt messages, it was necessary to turn it over to allow more staff the opportunity to sign the beam.
"It’s thrilling to witness such enthusiastic participation from our staff. Their willingness to sign the beam and support our campaign reflects their deep investment in our workplace," said Rome Health Chief Operating Officer Ryan Thompson.
"I’m delighted that nearly 300 staff members have contributed to our ongoing fundraising campaign, many of whom are first time donors to the Rome Health Foundation,” said Rome Health Foundation Executive Director Chester DiBari III. “Each gift is bringing us closer to reaching our $16.5 million campaign goal.”
Rome Health extends its deepest gratitude to all who have donated to the construction of the new ICU and Kaplan Center for Surgical Services, DiBari said. The Rome Health Foundation invites the community to support our vision.
