Mercy Health Jewish Hospital
HEAPY provided Mechanical-Electrical Design services for the $80,000,000 expansion project at Jewish Hospital in Kenwood. The new cutting-edge facility adds 186,000 SF to The Jewish Hospital, making it a more patient-friendly campus by addressing the safety and comfort needs of aging patients and offering all private rooms, equipped with smart technology. In addition to a more welcoming design and layout for patients and families, the renewal project includes an expanded and more efficient emergency department.
About 32,000 SF of the hospital’s existing interior was renovated, part of which involves filling in the atrium of the hospital to create additional floor space. Other upgrades and new construction include the emergency department, intensive care unit, blood and marrow transplant center, orthopedic unit, cardiology, neuroscience and Medical Education Center, including its auditorium.
