The Glenwood Regional Medical Center in West Monroe, La., strives to maintain a first-class medical facility, both in terms of patient case and overall appearance. But in this tough economy, the health care facility faced a serious dilemma. They were stuck between budget constraints and a need remodel hallways where the walls were suffering from years of abuse.
Glenwood is an older facility, with plaster walls that, over the years, had been weakened by cracks, gouges and tears from rolling beds and service carts. In some high traffic areas, the same portions of the wall surface had been patched four and five times.
