Wellington Regional Medical Center and its parent company, Universal Health Services, Inc. of King of Prussia, PA, announced plans for a three-story, 103,000 square foot patient care tower. The new tower will add 80 new private patient rooms to the facility. Construction plans include the capability of adding two additional floors in later phases.
The design of the workspace in the new tower will be complemented by advanced technology including individualized nursing work stations that will enhance and promote a patient-centered care model. The expansion will provide the space for an ante-partum unit to care for high risk moms and an ICU step-down unit, providing support for existing medical/surgical and ICU units. New main lobby and registration areas will be conveniently relocated in the hospital with expanded kitchen and cafeteria areas also being planned.
Construction of the new tower is scheduled to begin in September 2011 with a projected completion date in late 2012.
