Officially Open:
A New Atrium at Coler

A ribbon-cutting Monday at the Coler Campus of Coler-Goldwater Hospital marked the opening of a renovated patient-resident Atrium. The project was completed with $250,000 in City funds made available by then City Council Speaker Gifford Miller. At the time, current Councilmember Jessica Lappin was on Miller’s staff, and she worked on the project. The
Atrium now has a new fresh-air heating, ventilating, and air-conditioning system, as well as new thermopane windows and new flooring. The Coler Auxiliary outfitted the Atrium wtih furniture, including tables and chairs and state-of-the-art high-definition television. Cutting the ribbon are Miller, Josephine Bolus of the City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) Board of Directors, Hospital Executive Director Claude Ritman, HHC Vice President Lynda D. Curtis, and Lappin.
