In 2016 the Westfield Memorial Hospital Foundation launched the Renovate our Emergency Department (RED) Campaign to fund the upgrade of the Westfield Memorial Hospital Emergency Department. Through the RED campaign, generous community donations and a New York State Rural Health Grant funded the project. The expanded and upgraded emergency department allows Westfield Memorial Hospital, part of Allegheny Health Network, to better accommodate its patients from Westfield and the surrounding western New York region, reducing wait times as well as providing more efficient and effective care in a patient-friendly environment.
Among the investments made in the new facility are a re-design and expansion of the emergency department waiting room, the addition of two specialized patient intake chairs, creation of a new ambulance vestibule, four new treatment rooms, one large new trauma room, a physician consult room and new nursing/staff stations. The newly renovated department also includes an innovative new Split Flow system that is designed to expedite patient triage and treatment.
