OTTAWA — Ransom Memorial Hospital has started the final phase of its $9 million renovation project. Construction crews have started working on a project to update and convert hospital patient rooms into high-tech single-patient rooms, said Dean Ohmart, hospital finance director. The project should be completed at the end of the year, he said. The hospital has been doing the work in stages — contractors completed an expansion that included a new birthing and gynecological wing and a new surgical wing. Workers have been updating and expanding the intensive care unit, and that work is on track and should be completed at the end of April. The work would switch to the old ICU and nursing station, which would be converted into new nursing stations, he said.
