West Jefferson Hospital Medical Center Energy Plant

"What makes the concept of the Support Services Facility & Energy Center innovative is the consolidation of all of the essential services serving the medical center in one hurricane resistive structure at an elevation above potential flood waters. In doing this, we assure that the hospital will have the services necessary to continue to serve the community, especially in the event of a disaster."

"During Katrina and with the Support Services Facility nearly finished, Walton Construction stepped up and assisted the hospital in early recovery measures insuring that the medical center would continue to serve the community in the time of this great disaster."
