Description
Getting the help a person needs or visiting a friend or relative, one has to walk through a 1940's maze of the "front office" switchboard at ESH. It always reminded me of visiting someone in prison. Antiquated!
On Sept 10, 2013 the hospital moved to its new facility. In partnership with the University of Kentucky, Eastern State has built a $129 million, state of the art facility in which they will now house their patients (roughly 250-300). The facility is one large building with three large, 3-story towers, named after the old buildings from the 4th Street campus (Gragg, Allen, and Wendell). Most of the original buildings were demolished by December 2013. All that will remain will be the administration & laundry buildings despite preservation attempts.
