"This new building will house on its bottom floor a new
emergency room, a new department of radiology, a new laboratory,
and on the next floor, new operating, rooms and recovery rooms, new
intensive care and coronary care units. The next three floors,
new patient rooms replacing the obsolete accommodations in the
1954 building.
HThis building of complex, sophisticated design will cost
approximately $87 per square foot. We will also renovate 53,000
square feet at approximately $67 per square foot. These renovations
will take place in space abandoned by the functions moving into
the new building and will enable us to expand other areas as recom-
mended by the Hamilton Study. These expanded areas include
storeroom, ohysical therapy, central sterile supply, housekeeping
d
and dietary, medical records, admitting, heart station, employee
health; also pharmacy, respiratory therapy, industrial engineering,
the employee training function, and the diet teaching function.
And the space abandoned by the 24 rooms on third north will be
converted into a modern 10 -bed maternity unit with toilets in
each room. A new nursery and an updated delivery suite will also
be provided on the third floor. In summary, there will be no
wasted space. New beds will be added as soon as the Certificate
of Need approval can be obtained,
"Because of the difficulty in adding, beds, even though we run
a high census, we have designed the addition and renovations to make
our patient care efficient and more accessible. We have had good
success with our out-patient programs, including being featured in
a goon -to -be -published Blue Cross Journal.
