RFWalsh Completes Medical Projects – S/L/A/M Architects

Boston – RFWalsh collaborative partners announced the completion of two projects for Steward Health Care System, undertaken as part of a Five-Site Initiative involving concurrent new construction and renovation projects at five Steward hospitals. Steward Health Care System acquired Caritas Christi Health Care System in November 2010.
The new Radiation Oncology Center at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center offers cutting-edge technology for the treatment of cancer and is located on the second floor of the William F. Connell Pavilion, completed in 2009, for which RFWalsh collaborative partners was the Owner’s Project Manager. S/L/A/M Architects, Inc. was the architect for the project.
St. Elizabeth’s and Steward Health Care System invested $10.3 million in building the new 10,500sf Radiation Oncology Center. The project improves and enhances the quality of care to patients and their families and provides an improved and efficient working environment for the staff.
The Carney Hospital project consolidated and replaced existing undersized and antiquated Operating Rooms and PACU space with new modern, appropriately sized spaces and additional support areas. The project added three state-of-the-art ORs with infrastructure for a future fourth. The PACU incorporates eight private patient bays including one for isolation. In addition, hospital employee support spaces, such as locker rooms, lounge, and dictation are provided with new space with direct access to the Operating and PACU Suite. The work was done in three phases to maintain daily hospital operations.
