North Fulton Regional Hospital announced today that it has relocated and expanded its human resources department to better provide services for employees and job applicants. The new location is at the front entrance of the hospital just inside the main doors, providing easier access for individuals applying for positions at the hospital. The new area occupies approximately twice the area of the previous office and now houses human resources, recruiting, benefits, occupational health and related functions. “This move allows us to better serve our current employees as well as to provide a much more comfortable environment for our applicants to complete applications and to interview,” says chief human resources officer Susan Brown. The human resources department’s office hours for applicants are 8:30 am until 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday.

The hospital’s information systems and technology department is also expanding to meet its need for additional space. During the past year, the information systems department has coordinated the conversion and implementation of two new systems within the hospital, including the hospital’s financial system and a new electronic medical record system in the emergency/ trauma department. “The hospital’s IS department is currently in the process of upgrading the facility’s hospital information system and rolling out a new physician portal which will enhance information accessible in physician offices,” commented Donna Hopson, director of information systems and laboratory services.

The third area involved in this phase of relocation and expansion is the Neuro ICU (intensive care unit) located on the first floor of the hospital. Neuro ICU will be adding a new family waiting area and private physician consult room. This addition will add a dedicated waiting area for patient families similar to the ICU and CCU waiting areas on the second floor. “The addition of a more private waiting area for our Neuro ICU area demonstrates the hospital’s commitment to meeting the needs of our patients and their families,” says chief nursing officer Jeanne Reeves. “We recognize that the families of patients in our intensive care areas may be going through a very anxious and difficult time and we want to provide them with a more private space where they can rest and relax for a few moments,” Reeves said.
