Surgical Suite Construction Moves into Final Phases Construction of Kenmore Mercy Hospital’s new surgical suites has been moving along at a steady pace. After months of preparing the area, the actual construction of the operating rooms is now underway. The suites are expected to be open for cases starting in early July. Most recently, the main entrance to the operating room area was closed and a temporary entrance was set up near CCS Oncology.
To help keep operations running smoothly and in a timely fashion, some block time has also been booked for minor surgical procedures in the Emergency Department exam rooms.
“This project has been a tremendous team effort. I thank all of the groups involved in pulling things together,” said Walt Ludwig, chief operating officer. One group that deserves kudos is the Environmental Services and Maintenance teams who work alongside the construction crew and often times behind the scenes to get construction areas ready.
According to Dick Mariani, site manager for Environmental Services & Facilities, “Our plumbers and electricians have been diligent in reviewing how construction will affect water and electrical systems, while pinpointing shutdown times to have the least impact on patient care.” In addition, environmental services staff have been supporting projects on a daily basis by keeping areas clean and safe.
