There has been some amazing progress with demolition of the old building at Taylorville Memorial Hospital according to President and CEO Kim Bourne. 

The building should be completely demolished by the first week of September, according to Bourne, and then they can get to work on the next phase of the building project.

TMH did make a few changes to the plans for phase 2 because of COVID-19, according to Bourne. 

COVID-19 has taught TMH a lot, according to Bourne, so in the new cafeteria and kitchen they will be adding additional hand washing stations and making a variety of other changes as well to keep people safe.

TMH CEO Kim Bourne was a guest on the NEWSTALK WTIM Morning Show.
