MidState Opens Expanded Facilities

The ceremonial ribbon was cut Oct. 7 marking the opening of MidState Medical Center’s Emergency Department and Expansion Project. An open house was sponsored by the Meriden, Cheshire, Southington and Quinnipiac Chambers of Commerce and drew over 200 people from the hospital and business community. MidState’s 100,000-square-foot, $45 million expansion project includes a new Emergency Department with all private rooms, inpatient unit, main entrance covered patient drop-off area and impressive lobby with a water feature. Pictured cutting the ribbon is Lucille Janatka, president and CEO of the Meriden hospital, along with Meriden Mayor Michael Rohde and members of hospital leadership and its board of directors.
