COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING/CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING - CONSTRUCTION - PROJECT TITLE: SHARKEY ISSAQUENA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT REMODEL AND EXPANSION PROJECT OPPORTUNITY: HRSA-22-134 PROJECT ADDRESS: 47 SOUTH 4TH STREET ROLLING FORK, MS 39159 CONTACT INFORMATION/ PROJECT DIRECTORS: BRANDY BRADSHAW BBRADSHAW@SICHOSP.ORG JERRY KEEVER, CEO JKEEVER@SICHOSP.ORG TELEPHONE: 662-873-4395 FAX: 662-655-1236 PROJECT ABSTRACT SUMMARY ROLLING FORK IS LOCATED IN SHARKEY COUNTY MISSISSIPPI AND IS THE COUNTY SEAT. THE 2020 CENSUS REFLECTED A POPULATION OF 1,863 PEOPLE. THE POVERTY RATE IN ROLLING FORK IS 35.6%, WHICH MEANS THAT ONE OUT OF EVERY 2.8 RESIDENTS OF ROLLING FORK LIVES IN POVERTY. ACCESS TO HEALTHCARE FOR RESIDENTS OF SHARKEY, ISSAQUENA, AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES CAN BE DIFFICULT FOR A VARIETY OF REASON. ECONOMIC FACTORS ARE FREQUENTLY IDENTIFIED AS A BARRIER TO CARE BY PATIENTS. MISSISSIPPI HAS THE HIGHEST PREVALENCE OF ADULTS WHO HAVEN'T SEEN A DOCTOR IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS DUE TO COST, AT 19.2% COMPARED TO ALL OF THE OTHER STATES IN THE NATION. SHARKEY ISSAQUENA COMMUNITY HOSPITAL IS A 29 BED CRITICAL ACCESS HOSPITAL IS LOCATED IN ROLLING FORK, MS, AND SERVES MUCH OF THE SURROUNDING AREAS, INCLUDING PATIENTS IN SHARKEY, ISSAQUENA, YAZOO, HUMPHREYS AND WASHINGTON COUNTIES. CONSTRUCTED IN 1949, THE HOSPITAL IS IN DISREPAIR FROM YEARS OF BUDGET SHORTFALLS AND SPACE CONSTRAINTS THAT LIMIT THE QUALITY OF CARE PATIENTS RECEIVE WHEN VISITING THE ONLY LOCAL EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. THESE ISSUES PRESENT OPERATIONAL CHALLENGES IN THE DELIVERY OF HEALTH CARE SERVICES AS WELL AS RECRUITING AND RETAINING EXPERIENCED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS. THE CURRENT RESTROOMS REQUIRE AN UPDATE TO ADHERE TO ADA STANDARDS FOR BOTH EMPLOYEES AND PATIENTS. THE X-RAY EQUIPMENT WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED AS THE PARTS AND COMPONENTS ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE WHEN THE MACHINERY EXPERIENCES A MALFUNCTION. THE CHEMISTRY MACHINE THE HOSPITAL HAS IN SERVICE IS FAR BEHIND CURRENT TECHNOLOGIES. THE EM ERGENCY DEPARTMENT WILL BE REMODELED TO MEET COMPLIANCE STANDARDS BY WIDENING THE HALLWAY TO ACCOMMODATE STRETCHERS PASSING. THERE WILL BE A PSYCHIATRIC HOLDING ROOM CONVERSION. THE NURSE'S STATION WILL BE UPDATED AND MOVED TO VISUALIZE THE ED ENTRANCE, PATIENT ER ROOMS, PSYCH HOLDING ROOM, AND WAITING AREA-AS REQUIRED. THE CURRENT ER WAITING AREA WILL BE RENOVATED. THERE IS CURRENTLY NO PLACE FOR OUTPATIENT PROCEDURES; PATIENTS ARE UTILIZING AN ER ROOM, IF AVAILABLE, WHICH TAKES CRITICAL BEDS AWAY FROM PATIENTS IN THE EVENT OF A TRUE EMERGENCY SITUATION. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT ARE: 1. PROVIDE MORE ADEQUATE SPACE TO ENABLE CLIENT FOCUSED DELIVERY HEALTHCARE AND IMPROVE HEALTH OUTCOMES OF PATIENTS. 2. EXPANDING SERVICES BY ADDING ADDITIONAL PATIENT CARE CLINICAL AREAS. 3. MEET OR EXCEED COMPLIANCE STANDARDS 4. IMPROVE QUALITY OF CARE AND WORKING CONDITIONS THAT ENHANCE SAFETY, EFFICIENCY, AND OUTCOMES FOR STAFF AND PATIENTS. 5. UPDATE CRITICAL PIECES OF EQUIPMENT IN THE RADIOLOGY AND LABORATORY DEPARTMENTS THAT CAN NO LONGER BE REPAIRED DUE TO THEIR AGE. THE EXPECTED OUTCOMES OF THE PROJECT INCLUDE: REDUCTION OF DIABETES AND COMORBID CONDITIONS IN THE MS DELTA, REDUCTION OF SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC BURDENS ASSOCIATED WITH CHRONIC DISEASE, AND BETTER ACCESS TO QUALITY CARE AND SERVICES IN THE LOWER MS DELTA REGION OF THE STATE.
