PT has come in with a solid forecast of increased demand. Moving Social Service and expanding PT will meet their needs. If they get the new space, they are committed to making substantial gains in patient satisfaction and improvements in some patient outcomes. The orthopedics surgery service passed a resolution that expansion is a must. Social Service must move to a location on the second floor, and farther from the main entrance.

4)
