East Texas Medical Center in Mount Vernon has invested more than a million dollars in facility and systems improvements over the past two years. The largest investment, approximately $450,000, was made in the replacement of the hospital’s roof. Systems such as electrical and gas, which are housed on the roof, received upgrades as well. Three rooftop units were replaced, increasing the heating and cooling capabilities in the hospital’s main areas. Four new window units were purchased for patient rooms.
