December 23, 2009
We officially moved into our new hospital on Tuesday, December 15th. Moving patients from the Center Street campus to the new building at Randall and Big Timber Roads was a massive undertaking, one that took months to plan.

Also important to note:
When the new hospital opens on December 15th, there will be 125 critical and non-critical patients to move from Center Street to Randall and Big Timber Roads. The non-critical patients will be moved first, followed by the critical patients. The emergency department at Center Street closes at 7 am on the 15th. Anyone who drives up after that time will be asked if they are able to drive to the new hospital. If not, we will call 911 for them.

Info on Artwork at the New Hospital

The new Sherman art collection includes a selection of media from photographs to sculpture and includes painting, watercolors, pastels and textiles.
The theme and philosophy of the collection is based on the concept that a comforting environment contributes to positive patient outcomes. We have focused on providing a collection that will be familiar and nurturing to patients, visitors and employees.
Many images are of the Elgin area and the Midwest. An important and interesting part of the collection are the photographs in the patient rooms. Many are the work of our doctors and staff as well as local photographers and artists. Each photograph so generously donated and accepted into the collection will have a plaque identifying the location of the photograph and the name of the donor.
While we have so many pieces in the collection that are interesting and eye catching, a sculpture made of two 14 foot canoes is certain to garner a great deal of attention!
The selection process was the result of the Sherman Art Committee reviewing over 1,000 works of art to arrive at the final pieces to be included in the collection.
