- Observation Room, Emergency Department
FIRST FLOOR
An eight-bed observation area features large glass-enclosed rooms in an open floor plan with a central nursing station designed to promote interaction with visitors and clinical staff. Located in the observation area, the Chest Pain Center allows Emergency Medicine physicians to observe and evaluate chest pain patients to determine whether or not they are having a heart attack and to facilitate appropriate testing so that an accurate diagnosis can be made quickly.
- Hybrid Angio Operating Suite
SECOND FLOOR
The hybrid angio suite enables surgeons to do an angiogram and an operation in the same setting. This capability to combine procedures can decrease patients’ risks by avoiding having to undergo multiple procedures at different times. The hybrid suite increases the hospital’s patient capacity, which means a shorter wait time for those patients scheduling surgery.
- Cardiovascular ICU Patient Room
THIRD FLOOR
A 16-bed Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit (CVICU) brings the total number of ICU beds at the hospital to 47. A full-time, board-certified intensivist is available on-site 24 hours a day. Windows in the new, larger rooms maximize natural lighting.

The attractive café-style lighting and warm colors foster an environment of consultation rather than instruction.

THIRD FLOOR
Families can take advantage of a waiting room, as well as a respite room where they can go to spend some time alone.

- Patient Room
FIFTH FLOOR
The pavilion features 72 nicely appointed patient rooms, each with three zones that have been built to accommodate the individual needs of the clinician, patient, and family.

The number of sinks was increased to provide numerous places where staff could wash their hands as a way to reduce the spread of infection. Each room contains floor-to-ceiling windows, sleeper sofas, and spacious bathrooms.
- Emergency Department Fast Track Area
FIRST FLOOR
Our "Fast Track" area provides triage, quick assessments, and discharges for patients needing minor treatment, such as stitches or an ankle wrap.
