Covington Emergency Department Milestone Reached

Signatures from MultiCare employees and City of Covington staff on the final steel support beam become part of MultiCare’s history

The final steel support beam for the new MultiCare Covington Emergency Department was readied for placement at a “topping off” ceremony held Friday, Sept. 16.

Hosted by Sellen Construction, the ceremony included the opportunity for MultiCare employees to sign the specially decorated red, white and blue beam. Covington Mayor Margaret Harto, City Manager Derek Matheson, Councilmember Wayne Snoey and other city staff also attended and signed the beam.

The beam will not be a visible part of the building once construction is complete, but the signatures will forever be part of the MultiCare Covington Emergency Department.
