Construction is under way on a new, 433,000-square-foot hospital tower, which will provide all private patient rooms and essential enhancements of medical and surgical services. Bridges on multiple floors will connect the new tower to the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute allowing for patients to be easily transported to different care units.
The new tower will be home to a dedicated women’s center with a post-partum floor featuring all private rooms, sitting alcoves, a nursery overlooking the Prebys rooftop garden and a boutique with items that support a new mother’s needs. The labor and delivery floor will incorporate rooms with labor tubs, operating rooms, antepartum rooms and a family waiting area with an outdoor patio.
