Coffeyville Regional Medical Center history

In 1956, a fourth floor was added to the fundamental physical plant to alleviate a shortage of patient beds and provide pediatric facilities and a newborn nursery.

To keep pace with the continuing population growth of the region and the rapid advances being made in medical technology, a three-phased modernization and updating program was undertaken in 1970.

The first phase concluded in 1972 with the remodeling of the radiology department, the laboratory, the emergency room, the respiratory therapy department, the recovery room and central supply.

In 1987, the fourth floor was remodeled to reopen the psychiatric department.

The first patient in this SNF unit was admitted in February 1988.

During the latter part of 1990 the outpatient clinics, conducted by consultants, were centralized and relocated to the Northwest Wing formerly occupied by Four County Mental Health.

In 1991, the third floor was transformed into an office space to make room on the first floor for a new Intensive Care Unit, formerly located on the second floor.

In 1992, the new ICU was constructed on the first floor centrally located between the emergency room and surgical services.

In 1995, CRMC created Access Care, a subscription ambulance service designed to eliminate out-of-pocket expenses for emergency ambulance service and medically oriented transportation.

The new building was completed in 2005, and included a new admissions, laboratory, emergency room and Intensive Care Unit on the first floor; a new women’s health unit and skilled nursing unit on second floor; and a behavioral health unit on the third floor.
