As part of IRMC’s Centennial building project, the Bork Emergency Center entrance will be temporarily relocated to the south side of the building (the side that faces the heliport/woods). Parking will be available on the south side of the building, and a drop off area has been constructed to facilitate patients and ambulances. Construction will be taking place above the Bork Emergency Center and this temporary entrance will be in place for 12-18 months.
Traffic from Wayne Avenue should make the first right turn after entering the IRMC campus and follow the directional signs to the Bork Emergency Center. All other traffic patterns will remain unchanged.
In November of 1914, IRMC first opened its doors to the public as a 40 bed facility with 13 private rooms. Today, as IRMC begins its 100th year of operation, the facility resides on a 50-acre main campus with 164 beds while serving nearly 250,000 patients annually. IRMC has also grown to be the 2nd largest employer in Indiana County with over 1300 employees.
The Centennial Building Project will modernize upon the current services offered by IRMC with new Operating Room Suites, a new Intensive Care Unit (ICU), a Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU), a 15 bed Post-Acute Care Unit, an Endoscopy Unit, and a Linear Accelerator (LINAC), as well as numerous structural and patient service upgrades to the current facility. In all, the project will renovate about 45,000 square feet of the current facility and include approximately 40,000 square feet of new construction.
