Notable achievements included acquisition of Jewish Hospital on Richmond Road and converting that to Saint Joseph Hospital, East. That hospital was upgraded, and the first long-term acute care hospital in Kentucky, within a hospital, was developed at that site. A five-story medical office building was added to the East campus. The entire medical and surgical services were upgraded, and bariatric surgery was added as a subspecialty practice. The Obstetrics Division increased its yearly deliveries 350% during Dr. Granacher's tenure. At the main Saint Joseph Hospital campus, the entire sixth floor was renovated for use by the oncology service. Interventional cardiology expanded with an additional sixteen beds. The cardiac catheterization laboratory was expanded to a total of 14 patient bays. Surgical telemetry was expanded onto 3B with an addition of a 25-bed surgical telemetry unit. 5A was converted to a 16-bed stroke telemetry unit. 43 new private rooms were added, and the total telemetry beds were increased to 136.
