Bill Scott, a local philanthropist, contributed to the hospital’s expansion after he was treated for a rare spinal cord injury in 2005.
Mr. Scott was rushed to the emergency department at Great Plains Health after a fall. Physicians diagnosed central cord syndrome, which damaged the fibers in his spinal cord, according to the report.
Great Plains Health’s $15.5 million expansion doubled the number of rooms in its emergency department.
The project broke ground in 2018 and opened in October.
