Boston, MA – The S/L/A/M Collaborative and Suffolk Construction Company, recently joined with officials of Holy Family Hospital in Methuen, Massachusetts, to celebrate the hospital’s 60th Anniversary by topping off the new $21 million Emergency Center.
The 21,000 square-foot facility nearly doubles the hospital’s capacity to care for emergency patients, providing patients and families from southern New Hampshire and the Merrimack Valley with greater access to advanced emergency medicine. When the expanded Emergency Center is completed in 2011, the hospital will be able to accommodate 54,000 emergency visits annually.
The new, uniquely designed Emergency Center will be equipped with:
• 34 private treatment bays, including six Fast Track rooms,
• an on-site, state-of-the-art CT Scanner,
• and a double trauma room.
“It’s a considerable accomplishment to gain the trust and support of healthcare organizations,” said Jim Tracey, vice president of Suffolk Construction. “We have a number of ongoing projects with Caritas Healthcare and are thrilled to be working with Holy Family on this project. We look forward to preserving our long-standing relationship with Caritas and are honored to be considered a valued partner.”
Caritas Healthcare, the owner of Holy Family, has awarded Suffolk and The S/L/A/M Collaborative projects on multiple campuses, including the Carney Hospital, Good Samaritan Medical Center, St. Anne’s Hospital and St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center. Suffolk is partnering with The S/L/A/M Collaborative at Holy Family Hospital.
“Working day-to-day with the extended clinical community during the design on this project was a pleasure, and the results will ring true upon opening day of the hospital’s new Emergency Center,” says Rick Polvino, AIA, project manager for S/L/A/M.
