Shawn Ottley, CNO/COO at Lake Chelan Health Hospital led a tour of the new hospital on Dec. 17, for valley residents. ABOVE: Those touring the hospital get a look at the sterile room, where instruments are sterilized and readied for the next procedure. The hospital has held four tours of the new hospital for those who were unable to attend the ribbon cutting and tour on Oct. 15. The new hospital, at 110 S. Apple Blossom Drive, will open at 6 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 5, and will be open 24 hours a day for hospital services, including around-the-clock emergency room care. The old hospital location on Highland Avenue will become an extension of Lake Chelan Health and will become the new home to the business office and accounting, Primary Care, Express Care Walk-in and Speciality Care clinics (moving from their downtown location), by March of 2023. EMS, Human Resources, and other administration personnel will remain where they at the Highland Campus. RuthEdna Keys/LCM
