This 30,000-square-foot project allowed the Intensive Care Unit to grow from twelve patient rooms to seventeen larger patient rooms. The ICU planning and design was a thoughtful consideration of circulation, nurse communication, mechanical needs, and infection control. Custom head wall systems with anti-microbial finishes, patient lifts, bariatric suites, and isolation rooms were included in the project. Touchdown nurses stations with patient observation windows adds to patient care and staff workflow.
In addition to the enhancements made in the ICU, the OT/PT area has expanded 35%. Neuro/Ortho now has a newly renovated bathroom in every expanded and upgraded patient room. The Pediatrics Unit is now confined to one side of the floor, for easy access to young patients with better control and security in that area. The Obstetrics Unit includes adding two LDRP rooms, nursery renovation, expanded waiting room, and a spa-like tub room.
