In response to the ever-changing healthcare needs of our community, Trinity Hospital
remains committed to further developing our service offerings and providing high-quality,
specialized care. Trinity Hospital established a task force to discuss potential growth
opportunities; expansion options included oncology, orthopedics, and cardiology services. An
assessment followed, incorporating a highly detailed community needs assessment and a
thorough five-year plan to determine the most feasible and beneficial course of action.
After reviewing the assessment results, a formal recommendation has been made to
expand the orthopedic service line at Trinity Community Hospital. The growing demand for
orthopedic services within our community, the project’s strong alignment with Trinity’s
capabilities, and the five-year expansion projections support this decision.
These findings outline the key factors that support the expansion of orthopedics and detail
the benefits for the hospital, the patients, and the community. Moving forward, stakeholder
collaboration and leadership support will be crucial to ensuring the successful implementation of
this expansion.
