Lincoln Medical Center

You'll like what we've become.

Progress! As all our neighbors know, we've finally completed the biggest construction project LMC has undertaken in its 30 year history.

Phase 1 - Done!
As bulldozers started tearing up parking lots and unearthing trees, several physicians looked on eagerly. This mound of dirt was soon to be their new home: the $1.6 million, 16,000 square foot Lincoln Medical Arts Building.

The building was designed as a two-story, state-of-the-art medical plaza, divided into 4 separate physician suites. The large use of glass and coordinating LMC-colored brick has made this new building a stand out as one of the most eye-catching in our area. Located only inches (literally) from LMC's building, the offices allow our doctors and their patients easy access to diagnostic and laboratory procedures within the medical center. Added parking makes convenience a plus. Inside the building, you'll find lots of natural light and contemporary fixtures.

The practices located there are:

East Lincoln Internal Medicine
Peter T. Fortkort, MD
Suite A
732-6662

Lincoln Center for Women's Health
Berniece Redmond, MD
Robert Cooke, MD
Melissa Wilcox, FNP
Suite C

Suite B

Suite D
736-9890

Phase 2 - Done!
Those same bulldozers moved over a few feet and began work on LMC's new wing. For several months things were turned around, but the finished product was well worth it. Our new $6.1 million, 40,000 square foot wing is complete. It has increased the medical center's size by over 40% and put a new face on an old friend.

The new wing houses the main lobby and information desk, inpatient Optima Therapies (physical, occupational, speech, and massage therapies), outpatient registration and testing, the surgical suite which includes 3 operating rooms and 1 cysto room, Community Education Classrooms, Library, Human Resources Department, and Gift Shop.

The marble-style floors, carpeted hallways, and floor-to-ceiling smoked-glass windows will utterly change forever the look of healthcare in Lincolnton.

Phase 3 - Done!
Our third phase encompassed renovations to the inside of our original building.

Much needed and long-anticipated changes are complete on the Maternity floor. New, VIP-type, labor-delivery-recovery (LDR) suites have been added while the older ones have been redesigned, totaling 5 home-like birthing rooms for mom & baby in this new birthing center we've appropriately named New Beginnings. Following recovery, the new family will then move to their own room for the rest of their stay. The redesigned rooms are decorated with oak and brass fixtures in a contemporary style, complete with accomodations for dad. Finally, the maternity's expanded newborn nursery has a feeding/pumping room for the convenience of new moms who may be discharged before their babies.

Other interior renovations to the medical center include expansion of the Laboratory, doubling its size; expansion of the Emergency Department, making it about 70% larger than it had been; and giving the Radiology department a whole new look.
