Resurrection Hospital  on the city's northwest side once fell into the category of worn-out religious healthcare facilities, says the hospital's Bob Hauptman. But next month it opens a new $80M, 30-bed ICU wing featuring some of the latest building trends.
 
ICU head nurse Kathy Santos showed us a new extra large patient room and nurse workstation during a tour on Thursday. The rooms are designed with  family visitors in mind—furniture from Evolutions can convert from a couch into a bed for overnight visitors. There's also an in-room hand-washing station, so patients can see their docs and nurses clean up, and a desk just outside the room with a small window and blinds where nurses can chart while still looking in on their patients. Kathy says she especially likes the big windows (some of which overlook a healing garden), after working for decades in patients' rooms without windows.
Here's Power Construction's Ron Holtz and Bob on the first floor of the new five-story, 130k SF wing. Power was the GC on the project and Loebl Schlossman Hackl provided architectural services.
