Building with Value in Mind for Pediatric Patients and their Families
Vice President, Patient Care Services & Chief Nurse Executive, Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville & Wolfson Children's Hospital
The Baptist Jacksonville Entry Building/Wolfson Children’s Critical Care Tower project was designed to completely reorient this flagship medical center. The entryway will connect patients and visitors to the world-class services available at the campus. The Critical Care Tower comprises five floors dedicated to pediatric critical care, including a 92-bed high-level Neonatal Intensive Care Center and a 35-bed PICU with acuity-adaptable beds. The Tower integrates with the existing adjacent high-risk obstetrics and neonatal delivery center, making the ICRA and phasing plans key to the success of this project. Every aspect of the Critical Care Tower was designed with patients and families in mind. Along with state-of-the-art technology, the hospital expansion maximizes natural light, which is proven to promote healing in infants and children, as well as postpartum mothers. This addition will also house the first MRI of its kind that does not require pediatric immobilization.
