Morehead Memorial Hospital
Emergency Department
Eden, North Carolina


Emergency Department Main Entrance

Morehead Memorial Hospital asked Wilkerson Associates Architects to revisit their Facility Master Plan and continue to update and refine the goals that had been put in place. One of the areas identified for additions and renovations was the Emergency Department. The new Emergency Department replaces the existing department, which allowed ease of construction phasing and kept the existing ED operational during construction.

The new ED provides thirteen new Exam Rooms around a central nurse station. The nurse station area includes a private consult/conference area, space for physicians and attendings, and various nursing support areas. A dedicated nurse station is provided for Trauma, which includes two large Trauma Rooms plus a dedicated Radiology Room, a two-station Triage area, and four Fast-Track Rooms. New registration, workroom, financial counseling areas and ample waiting with vending, and a decontamination shower at the ambulance entry are also part of the new construction. The walk-in entry and ambulance entry are distinctly separate from each other.
