Unidentified Speaker 2 said a new freestanding emergency department will open in Columbia County’s Evans community on Tuesday, Dec. 2, offering faster local access to emergency care.

The announcement, introduced earlier by Unidentified Speaker 1, described the facility as providing "fast, life saving care" and said it will include 11 treatment rooms, a trauma bay, advanced imaging (CT and X‑ray) and on‑site laboratory and pharmacy services to support rapid evaluation, diagnostics and treatment. "We're here to provide fast, life saving care," Unidentified Speaker 1 said, adding the location responds to situations "where that 15 minutes really matters."

Speakers said the facility will be staffed around the clock by Ford‑certified emergency physicians and nurses: "Our team of Ford certified emergency physicians and nurses will be here 24 hours a day, 365 days a year," Unidentified Speaker 1 said, listing conditions the staff will treat, from chest pain and broken bones to strokes and other complex emergencies.

On economic impact, Unidentified Speaker 2 said the project is a "$15,000,000" undertaking and that the broader Doctors Hospital organization is making a larger community investment described in the remarks as "150000000 dollar community investment." The speaker also said the effort "will create over 110 new full time jobs." The transcript does not specify how the two dollar figures relate to each other or identify funding sources.

Speakers framed the opening as part of a continued commitment by Doctors' Hospital to serve a growing community. "I am proud of what this facility represents, accessible, compassionate, expert care closer to home," Unidentified Speaker 1 said. The comments closed with a reiteration of the hospital's role and pride in serving Columbia County residents.

The remarks did not include named officials, detailed funding sources, or documentation of the budget figures; the opening date given is Dec. 2 and the community impact claims were presented without accompanying documentary detail in the transcript.
