MCDH Business Office moves into new building

4/18/05

MCDH’s Business Office, including patient accounting, billing and credit coordination, has moved from its long-time home on Main Street to the new Patient Services Building on the MCDH campus. 

Located adjacent to the main hospital building, the Patient Services Building will house business services, patient registration, physical therapy, occupational and speech therapy, the diabetic clinic, dieticians, a multi-specialty clinic, oncology infusion services, and the finance department.

The Business Office moved into the new building over the weekend of April 16 and 17.  After closing for normal business hours on Friday, staff moved files and furniture over the weekend and resumed business on Monday morning, thereby shortening any disruption to public service.  Though there may be some slight delays as employees settle into their new space, Business Services Director Perry Crowder says, “We should be back to business as usual by the end of this week.”

Patients needing to visit the Business Office to make payments, apply for charity care or inquire about their accounts should now enter the new Patient Services Building through its main entrance (the sliding glass doors on the north side of the building).  Once inside the building, turn left and the Business Office is the first door on the right.  Signage will be up in the near future.

Physical therapy, occupational and speech therapy departments also moved into the new building over the weekend.  Patients are enjoying the new space, as are staff.  “We are ecstatic to have a larger, brighter, more open and patient-friendly facility,” says Aleah Mainzer, Physical Therapy Clinical Coordinator.

This week, the Diabetic Clinic, Dieticians, finance and accounting departments will move into the Patient Services Building.  The Registration Department, oncology infusion services, multi-specialty clinic and conference rooms will move into the new building after the corridor between the South Lobby (the current registration area) and the new building is complete.
