Services provided at this PPG location will be familiar and consistent for Parkview patients: traditional exam rooms will offer both urgent care and family medicine services. Visitors will be welcomed and checked in at the Parkview concierge desks, and have access to urgent care physicians, family medicine, and other support services, including an in-house retail pharmacy, lab work, x-ray, and general consult rooms for private healthcare plan discussions. |

Rush Memorial Hospital Intensive Care UnitRush Memorial Hospital’s new Intensive Care Unit now reflects its excellent, high-quality care and gives patients and staff the assurance that they need. There was no shortage of challenges in designing a modern, state-of-the-art intensive care unit in an existing 1948 facility, but with clear goals and desired outcomes established early, coupled with a collaborative relationship between the design team and hospital, the project was able to respond to the needs of the organization and the greater Rushville community. Patient safety and comfort were at the forefront of the project goals and were carefully considered through every design decision. The team encouraged patient comfort through the design and organization of the layout of each room so that existing exterior windows could bring daylight and views of the outdoors to patients. |
Mercy Health St. Rita’s Medical Center E-BuildingSaint Rita’s Medical Center decided to do a complete demolition and reconstruction of the 7th floor in both of their E and F Buildings. This project is a part of a larger plan which includes the renovation of five floors in the existing E-Building, the 7th floor of the F Building, and a fit-out of the existing 28K SF shell space on the 8th floor of the K-Tower. The unit will include a centralized, open nurse station to maximize visibility for staff while encouraging patient interaction. With an emphasis on encouraging interaction, large, open social spaces are available for dining and activities as well as smaller seating areas for patients. In addition to the work being done on the 7th floor, the 5th floor of the E-building is being fully renovated for a new Pediatric Med/Surg Patient Care Unit, the 8th-floor shell space of Building K is being built-out for a new Inpatient Rehabilitation Patient Care Unit, the 8th floor of Building E is being fully renovated for a new Rehabilitation Therapy Unit, and the mechanical and electrical infrastructure of Building E is being completely replaced. |

IU Health Saxony CT ScannerThe IU Health Saxony Hospital was looking to replace its existing CT Scan equipment and was in need of a temporary mobile unit to be able to continue services during the renovation and replacement of the permanent CT Scan room and equipment. In order to make this happen, DC prepared temporary plumbing and electrical infrastructure for the temp CT Scan unit, as well as an enclosed walkway for patient access. For the new CT Scan equipment, the DC team worked on the necessary modifications for installing the new equipment and room finish upgrades. |
