The natural, earth tone color palette of the limestone flooring, carpet, granite column bases and wood veneer paneling enhance the interior image and communicate quality professional and progressive patient services.

Georgetown Healthcare System

 

Georgetown Healthcare System thumbnail linkThis project is the major component of a facility masterplan initiated by the Georgetown Healthcare System and completed by O'Connell Robertson in 1994. The 90,000 SF, multi-story addition, doubled the existing area of the Georgetown Medical Center. A comprehensive cancer treatment center, new outpatient surgery suites, and expansion of the Women's Pavilion were included in the project. Site development included 200 additional parking spaces, a freestanding central physical plant, and the preparation of site grading for a future medical office building.

The lower level of the expansion includes a 12,000 SF cancer treatment center. Floors two through four contain rehabilitation and physical therapy for inpatient and outpatient services; a tie into the existing Women's Pavilion of the hospital and a new nursery, family waiting area, and additional LDRPs; and shell space to accommodate future services.

Lillian Hudspeth Memorial Hospital and Wellness Center

 

The renovation/expansion of Lillian Hudspeth Memorial Hospital accommodated the relocation of all acute care services out of the existing 60-year old facility. This critical access hospital houses a new ER, ICT Scan room, upgrade of 12 medical/surgical beds, and new main entrance.

A new, 7,500 SF, free-standing Wellness Center with swimming pool, exercise and weight area and physical therapy component was added. The Wellness Center is connected to the hospital by a conditioned corridor. Unique interior patterns lead the user from the reception desk to the equipment area where machine weights and freeweights are located. The physical therapy area features therapy equipment, hot and cold tubs, and private therapy tables and leads to the indoor heated pool.

Frio Regional Hospital
 

Frio Regional Hospital is a new, 42,000 SF facility with 22 acute care beds and comprehensive outpatient surgical and obstetric services. The facility design incorporates a single point of entry for all non-emergency services, facilitating access to highly utilized diagnostic, treatment and lab services. The hospital was sited for maximum exposure from a major interstate, providing excellent visibility and accessibility for the facility.

Flexibility was a key component in the design solution for this project. One centralized nurse station services all acute care beds and LDRs with visual observation of Nursery functions. The plan facilitates future expansion of all major departments while maintaining an efficient circulation for patients and staff.

This comprehensive interior renovation expanded the existing Emergency Department at Shannon Medical Center from 7,500 SF to 12,500 SF. The expansion increased Emergency Department exam rooms from six to 15, while maintaining six rooms in the minor emergency treatment area. One trauma room was added with imaging capabilities and a dedicated digital x-ray room was incorporated in the department. A centralized nurse station with visual control over exam rooms was a key component of the redesign. The patient registration and triage area was reorganized to enhance processing efficiency and patient confidentiality.

The project also provides the Emergency Department with numerous functional improvements including: enhanced triage capabilities; state-of-the-art trauma room; flexible patient treatment areas for various levels of emergency care and trauma; treatment areas which can easily adapt to changes in technology and equipment; and an interior environment that supports healing and reduces stress.

The Meadows at Coryell Memorial Hospital
 

Coryell Memorial Hospital thumbnail linkThis 45,100 SF, single story facility is the cornerstone of Coryell Memorial Hospital's continuum of care. Providing 54 private suites and 18 semi-private suites, the facility serves Alzheimer's as well as mainstream long term care needs for the local community. The facility allows for the future construction of 30 additional suites for a total of 120 beds.

The hospital's physicians and health care specialists have direct access to residents, improving their efficiency and responsiveness to residents' healthcare needs. Alternatively, the facility's architecture and interior finishes provide the residents with a comfortable "residential" environment.
