About
the St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center
St. Elizabeth's is a nonprofit, acute care, Catholic community hospital licensed
for
550 beds and 60 bassinets. As a member of Humility of Mary Health Partners,
it
offers the technology of a large university-affiliated hospital, while still
providing
the personal touch of a community health care facility. St. Elizabeth's offers
medical, surgical, intensive, intermediate, maternity, neonatal intensive,
pediatric and
psychiatric inpatient care, as well as inpatient and outpatient surgery and
24-hour
emergency services. St. Elizabeth's serves as a regional referral center for
high-risk
maternity and cardiology, and is the only Level 1 Trauma Center in the area.
Their
Need
Directors decided to test the Youngstown market to determined if an emergency
and diagnostic care facility was needed. They would need a building fully
equipped with x-ray equipment, a CT scanner and a lab. The building would also
require an elaborate power supply with back-up generators and numerous dedicated
lines to insure uninterrupted service to patients, as well as dedicated HVAC
units to acclimatize various rooms independently. Because the temporary building
was required for a market assessment it had to be done quickly and very cost
effectively.
The
Whitley
Solution
Our building more than adequately served all of the
needs the hospital leadership expected. Technically, it
functioned perfectly. It was aesthetically pleasing both
inside and out. In fact it became so valuable to the community
that the actual traffic far exceeded anticipated
figures. |
