J. Arthur Dosher Memorial Hospital
Additions and Renovations
Southport, North Carolina


Dusk at New Outpatient Entrance

Dosher Hospital commissioned Wilkerson Associates Architects to develop a Master Plan that incorporates the current and anticipated needs of the facility to provide updated healthcare for the growing community. The original hospital was not built, nor planned, at a time when hospitals saw many outpatients. The Master Plan emphasized bringing the hospital up to the most current patient environments for the ever changing and growing outpatient needs.

Wilkerson Associates Architects was also commissioned to architecturally implement the Master Plan. The original portion of the Hospital built in the 1930’s was demolished and a two-story addition built in its place. The addition includes a new outpatient lobby, Central Admissions, Outpatient Surgery, and Surgery on the first floor. Another addition serves to expand both the Emergency Department and Radiology. Renovations include the balance of the Emergency Department, Radiology, Laboratory, Inpatient Physical Therapy, Gift Shop, Medical Records, and Morgue.

The second floor includes Administration, Business Office, Outpatient Physical Therapy, Accounting, Information Systems, Human Resources, Employee Health, Marketing and Education.
