Coming Soon: New Café, Gift Shop, Lobby Flooring
Exciting upgrades are occurring to the South County Hospital lobby area this spring to enhance the patient, staff, and visitor experience. These improvements are made possible through the generous support of philanthropic donors and partners with a shared commitment to providing exceptional healthcare services.
The renovated South County Hospital lobby will feature a new café with grab-and-go dining options, a permanent gift shop, and updated flooring. These enhancements are designed with the aim of improving the overall experience for everyone who walks through our doors.
"We are incredibly grateful for the support of our philanthropic donors, our Auxiliary members, and our partners at Unidine, whose generosity has made these upgrades possible.” said Christine Foisy, VP of Development, Chief Philanthropy Officer at South County Health. “These improvements will not only enhance the physical environment of our facility but also contribute to the comfort and well-being of our patients, staff, and visitors."
The South County Health café, currently in progress, will be located in the main lobby near the Balise Entrance, where the current gift shop is located. The café will be a welcoming space, offering a selection of breakfast, lunch, and a variety of coffee and beverages. Our valued food and beverage partner, Unidine, will be fully funding this project, demonstrating their commitment to enhancing the overall culinary experience at South County Hospital for our community. We are grateful for their support and look forward to the positive impact this new addition will have on South County Health.

The South County Health gift shop is being constructed simultaneously with the café and will be fully funded by philanthropy and South County Hospital Auxiliary. The South County Hospital Auxiliary has long-supported South County Health and this permanent and upgraded space adjacent to the courtyard and Balise Entrance will better support the Auxiliary’s fundraising efforts for many years to come.
As part of lobby renovations, foot traffic and parking for patients, visitors, and staff within the hospital will be impacted. Updates to the lobby flooring will take place over four phases from March 24 to April 10 to minimize disruptions to the flow of traffic within the hospital. Additional wayfinding signage will be prominently displayed throughout the facility. Friendly staff and volunteers will be available to assist patients and visitors in navigating the hospital during this period of transition.

Patient experience is always at the forefront of South County Health, which is why this information will also be communicated to all patients scheduled during this period via regular reminder calls for appointments. Updates will also be made via South County Health’s social media accounts.
South County Health appreciates the patience and understanding of our community members as we work to bring these improvements to fruition.
