The hospital opened Parker Pharmacy, a retail pharmacy that improves access to prescription medications and supports continuity of care for patients throughout the region. LPRH also relocated its Urgent Care clinic to a larger, more accessible facility and expanded operating hours to include evenings and weekends, increasing access to same-day care and helping reduce unnecessary emergency department utilization.To enhance specialty care availability, LPRH recruited a full-time general surgeon, expanding access to surgical services locally and reducing the need for patients to travel outside the county for care. The hospital also invested in advanced diagnostic technology with the purchase and installation of a new CT scanner, improving imaging capabilities, diagnostic accuracy, and patient care.In support of continued organizational growth and operational efficiency, LPRH completed construction of a new administrative building to house the Medical Records and Patient Financial Services (Billing) departments along with Central Scheduling, Human Resources and Finance.
