Hospital holds "beam-signing" ceremonies for new ED

Physicians, team members, board members and members of the Newark-Wayne Community Hospital “extended family” were given the opportunity to get up close and personal with the new Emergency Department/Major Modernization Project on two separate occasions in the past two weeks. The hospital held special Beam Signing ceremonies to give “hospital family members and friends” the opportunity to sign one of the beams that will become part of the new ED’s structural foundation in the next couple of weeks.

“This project is very exciting for everyone involved with Newark-Wayne, especially team members and physicians who have seen the tremendous growth and all of the positive changes in the last few years,” said Mark Klyczek, president, Newark-Wayne Community Hospital. “We wanted to give everyone the opportunity to make their mark on this new building and to become part of the history of the hospital,” he added.
