Memorial Hospital of Converse County

The Situation

The Memorial Hospital of Converse County is a Critical Access Hospital. The hospital is in the center of town and attracts locals to eat in their Cafe because the food is so good.

• The kitchen and cafeteria were dated and unable to meet demands from the increased volume of people eating in the cafeteria

The Plan

DRS created a master plan in coordination with hospital leadership to:

• Increase the size of the kitchen
• Expand the dining room
• Create a new Café
• Provide a plan that allows the hospital to expand for decades to come

The Result

Increased capacity resulted in increased revenue and positive PR for the hospital.

• DRS completed the plan without having to move other departments by adding additional exterior walls; this allows for the rest of the hospital’s operations to be unaffected by the improvements to the cafeteria
• DRS designed action stations in the Café to prepare and serve sandwiches, salads, soups, a grill menu and daily entrée specials, resulting in the possibility for increased revenue
