HRMC labor and delivery unit to be remodeled

The Haywood Regional Medical Foundation has donated $400,000 to MedWest Haywood for a remodel of the fourth floor, which includes the Women’s Care Unit and Progressive Care Unit.

“We are so grateful to the HRMC Foundation for making this remodel possible,” said Janie Sinacore-Jaberg, President and CEO of MedWest Haywood.  “We know our patients and visitors, as well as our staff, physicians and volunteers will really enjoy being in the new units when they are complete. As we move through the exciting transition that lies ahead of us, this is one more indication that our community supports their hospital.”

Recent sizeable donations by the Haywood Regional Medical Center Foundation included $3 million to fund The Homestead Hospice Center and $265,000 to help build the new Outpatient Care Center on the campus of MedWest Haywood. 

 “The board’s mission and function is to promote fundraising in support of the hospital,” said Laura Leatherwood, Chair of the HRMC Foundation. “It’s mutually beneficial and helps our community in so many ways.”
