Ground is being broken for New Milford Hospital's new Emergency Department.  A ceremony is being held tonight for the Arnhold Emergency Department.  New Milford Hospital officials say the new facility marks the beginning of a new era in emergency care in New Milford. 

The Hospital says the space will solely be dedicated to emergency care for patients, families and visitors through state of the art technology, a larger more efficient triage room and all private patient rooms.  The new facility will also have a centralized nursing station for direct oversight of patient rooms, will be geriatric accessible and pediatric friendly. 

Improvements outside will be made to the parking area.
