Wayne Memorial Hospital (WMH) CEO David Hoff, right, and hospital bonding attorney Brian Koscelansky appear before the Wayne County Commissioners on March 17 seeking approval of a guaranty declaration for the Wayne County Hospital and Health Facilities Authority’s $41 million revenue bond. The commissioners approved the required ordinance, which will fund what Hoff said was a “major addition,” to feature a Level-Four trauma unit, which will reduce trauma patient transfers to the larger and more distant Geisinger–Community Medical Center in Scranton. Groundbreaking is anticipated next spring. Additionally, Hoff said that a new $5 million, 1,200-square-foot cardiac catheterization lab is expected to be operating on the hospital’s third floor this spring, employing six additional medical staff. The addition project is also to include upgrades in ambulance mobile communication services and “needed” additional parking, Hoff said.
