Optim Medical Center-Tattnall hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony last week to mark the renovations and expansion of the Reidsville campus – including a larger lobby, an entirely new patient wing and two newly completed operating rooms.

According to a release from Optim, local community leaders and members of the Greater Tattnall Chamber joined hospital representatives at the celebratory event.

The medical center is a physician-owned orthopedic specialty and critical access hospital that has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as a “High Performing Hospital” in spinal fusion, knee replacement, and hip replacement surgeries.

The lobby was redesigned to improve a patient’s experience, featuring spacious seating areas and efficient patient flow. The new patient wing offers modern, private rooms equipped with ADA-compliant bathrooms and comfortable amenities that support patient-centered care.

A key highlight of the completed expansions, the release stated, is the addition of two new, larger operating rooms. The expanded design allows surgical teams to navigate around larger tables, which is particularly beneficial for advanced spine surgeries and total hip replacements.

“Patient safety and quality outcomes are at the heart of every decision we make,” said David Flanders, CEO of Optim Medical Center-Tattnall. “Our U.S. News & World Report honors underscore our commitment to delivering exceptional care. By investing in new patient spaces, upgraded operating rooms, and behind-the-scenes improvements, we continue to strengthen our ability to serve this community at the highest level.”

Also, the hospital is adding a physician lounge and improved locker rooms for its medical staff. While patients may not see some of these essential improvements, they will benefit from the overall enhancements that support efficient and effective healthcare delivery, the release stated.
