$536 million regional medical center to open in under a year
\n<\/strong>Parkview ahead of schedule on construction project<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(March 30, 2011) – Parkview Health officials today led a media tour inside the Parkview Regional Medical Center construction site.<\/p>\n

Construction work is ahead of schedule. The project will now be substantially completed in November, with the facility opening to patients in March 2012. Construction on the 900,000 square foot, $536 million Parkview Regional Medical Center began in September 2008.<\/p>\n

Current construction activity includes flooring, painting, drywall, cabling, and build-out of interior areas. More than 3,600 construction workers have been on the job site over the course of the project. More than two million worked man-hours have occurred.<\/p>\n

Guiding Principles<\/strong><\/p>\n

Parkview’s team of leaders, co-workers, architects, space planners and consultants have used the following principles to guide decision-making during the planning, design and construction of the regional medical center.<\/p>\n

Carefully consider safety and quality throughout the planning and design work.
\nBuild service excellence into the new facilities.
\nMake decisions to maximize physician effectiveness and satisfaction.
\nThe design needs to be affordable for our community by creating greater cost efficiencies as volume grows.
\nOrganize activities in the designs around the care delivery processes.
\nMake sure flows and workspace are lean and support teamwork and communication.
\nUse technology to improve patient care and staff efficiency.
\nBuild growth, adaptability and flexibility into the new environment.
\nThe design should be comfortable, uplifting and support the diverse needs of our patients and families.
\nWe must demonstrate stewardship in the design and the buildings must embrace the community and the environment.<\/p>\n

Parkview is committed to making the regional medical center a destination that feels like a warm and inviting home. The facility is designed in a way to promote health and wellness that instills confidence and hope. Color schemes, flooring, windows, reduced noise, and natural lighting will create a healing environment for patients and families. More than 40 teams of hospital leadership, physicians and staff assisted in the design of the patient care areas.<\/p>\n
