1300 Wesley Drive
Memphis, TN 38116
Permit Cost: $5.4 million

Project Cost: $8.7 million
Permit Date: July 2015
Completion: Late 2016
Owner: Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare
Tenant: Methodist South Hospital
Details: Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare has taken a big step toward the planned renovation of the emergency room at Methodist South Hospital, 1300 Wesley Drive.

Methodist recently filed a $5.4 million building permit application with the city-county Office of Construction Code Enforcement for the work.

While the Whitehaven Methodist facility is a relatively small hospital with only 156 beds, the emergency department is the third-busiest in Memphis.

With over 60,000 annual visits – dramatically increased from 2006 figures of 25,000 visits – the health care provider is having to make sizable changes to fill its role as a primary care facility for a community that has limited access to this type of care.

When completed in late 2016, the $8.7 million project will completely revamp the look and efficiency of the emergency department. The 9,950-square-foot department will grow to 22,750 square feet.
