I Love it When a Plan Comes Together! — Finished Patient Rooms

The featured image is of a patient room 15A 1523 on the 15th floor (a Medical/Surgical Unit) in the adult tower. This patient room is being used as a Dress Rehearsal Room to familiarize staff with the new equipment and systems.

On the days when the temperature outside hovers around 103°, It feels good to be inside the new hospitals on the Dennis and Carol Troesh Medical Campus. There are fewer and fewer construction workers in the building. The ones I see are fine-tuning and tweaking equipment, millwork, and all those little things that need to be done before occupancy. Every day, I see more and more staff from the existing Medical Center as they tour the building. It is fun to hear their “WOWS”, and observe their excitement as they chatter among themselves.
