A new patient room at Mayo Clinic Hospital.
Most of the 214 patient rooms will be private. They include a large window, seating area and sofa bed for visitors. The large room design provides the flexibility for equipment or services to be brought to the bedside as the patient's condition warrants.
The estimated project cost is $254.6 million. Funding will come primarily from the sale of St. Luke's Hospital and philanthropic support from patients, corporations, foundations and Mayo staff. This support is critical to achieving the vision for the new hospital. For information on how you can get involved, please call 904-953-7200.
The corridors in the hospital tower will be 10 feet wide. This will provide suitable space for a teaching institution with resident physicians making rounds, as well as the equipment required in a tertiary acute-care hospital.
A surgery waiting room at the new hospital.
The new surgical suite will contain 16 oversized operating rooms for inpatient procedures. They will be built around a sterile core through which staff will receive instruments and supplies. The six existing operating rooms in the Mayo Building will continue to be used, for a total of 22 operating rooms.
The intensive care/critical care unit will include about 30 patient rooms, with the flexibility to decrease or increase in number as patient needs require.
Mayo's transplant programs, which include bone marrow, heart, kidney, liver, lung and pancreas, will be located in areas specifically designed for these complex procedures.
The hospital will be equipped with computerized systems to speed the flow of decision-making information to physicians. Mayo's electronic medical record will provide keystroke access to historical as well as up-to-the-minute information on test results, treatment plans and patient progress.
A filmless, computerized radiology system will display medical images on a computer screen within moments of being taken. Physicians in multiple locations will be able to view those images simultaneously and enlarge or enhance them for better interpretation.
The entire hospital will be prewired so monitoring of vital signs can be done at the patient's bedside. This will allow many patients to be cared for by nurses with expertise in their specific health condition, rather than being moved to a dedicated monitoring unit.
The hospital project will include a helicopter landing pad and an Emergency Department with a chest pain observation unit.
The main entrance to the hospital will feature a visually inspirational, uplifting canopy and reflecting pool.
