Franciscan Health South Campus Master Planning

Our team is using their master facility plan to maximize patient bed availability to facilitate better patient flow, improve daily operations, and satisfy the growing demand for inpatient services. The current inpatient facility is in excellent condition and has opportunity for expansion of inpatient beds within the existing footprint, as they have shown needs for additional critical care and med/surg beds. For this project, our architects are designing three new med/surg beds and palliative care offices within existing footprint on the fifth-floor, as well as the design of 10 new med/surg beds and 10 new ICU level beds on the existing fourth-floor bed tower, including a core support area. On the existing second floor of the Heart Center, our team will reconfigure the SPCU beds to critical care beds, add two beds to the existing six-bed CV PACU, and add two beds to the existing eight-bed SICU. Work for this $12 million renovation is being phased under the constraints of an occupied facility.
