STRHS-Pulaski Announces $11 Million Emergency Department Expansion

Southern Tennessee Regional Health System – Pulaski (STRHS-Pulaski) has announced plans for an $11 million renovation and expansion of its emergency department (ED).

The project is funded by the hospital’s parent company, Lifepoint Health, with design and construction plans set to be revealed at a groundbreaking event early next year. The expansion will relocate the ED to the front of the hospital and nearly double its size by adding 4,624 square feet. Bed capacity will increase from seven to eleven, including observation/holding rooms, bariatric, and trauma rooms.

The project also includes more than $1 million in medical equipment upgrades to enhance patient care and staff workflow. STRHS-Pulaski is the sole provider of emergency services in Giles County, treating more than 12,000 patients annually. The hospital is an accredited chest pain center, and the new ED is expected to improve patient experience, accommodate future growth, and better meet the community’s healthcare needs.

The project reflects Lifepoint Health’s investment in expanding access to care in the region. Updates on construction and design plans will be shared with the community as the project progresses.
