CLEVELAND, Tenn. (WDEF) — Parkridge Medical Center announced plans to build a freestanding Emergency Room in Bradley County.
The ER would have 11 rooms, including one for trauma care.
It would also feature a nurses station, imaging, and in-house labs.
Parkridge said in a press release that Bradley County is rapidly growing and is underserved when it comes to 24-7 emergency care.
This facility would also serve neighboring Polk County.

We would contribute directly to local revenues for schools, infrastructure and public safety. It’s a win win for the county and the residents. Access to additional care, high quality care, and someone who’s also going to contribute to the county from a tax revenue standpoint.
Parkridge says that if approved, construction could be completed in as little as 10 months.
