It's rather impressive

The new Sparrow West Wing tower is rather impressive. The crane left shortly after this picture was taken. The front scaffolding should come down in a few weeks. The Emergency Department and a couple of the nursing units will open in December. We will open our new six operating rooms in May 2008. I am very interested in comparing our OR construction to that of the University of California at San Francisco, Duke or Rush. Those organizations have created a hospital around surgical services to assure efficient workflow and patient satisfaction. We have had to adapt to a very specific footprint and continue to work near or be space-limited by construction. The new OR's themselves will be big, beautiful state of the art labs.
