Taylorville Memorial Hospital has finished its second and final phase of a three-year hospital modernization project. Kim Bourne, CEO, and President of Taylorville Memorial Hospital says that the remodeling project is a huge investment in the community. The project has been worked on for the last 3 years and the first phase finished in March of 2020, with the new phase just finishing up.

Bourne says that the support from the community, staff, and patients has been amazing and she says the hospital is grateful.

Two elements of the original hospital were restored and reinstalled in the new space, a Sacred Heart of Jesus Statue and stained-glass windows originally used in the chapel. Bourne says they want to pay respect to the original hospital that was built.

Kim Bourne says that she hopes the hospital will be a patient's first choice in healthcare for years to come.

Taylorville Memorial Hospital was previously known as St. Vincent Memorial Hospital and affiliated with Memorial Health System in 1995.
