Memorial Hospital shows off the latest piece

The main bulbs in the operating room dimmed Friday afternoon,We have High Quality LED Circular Tube, reading lamps and floor lamps and more. but a pair of lights persisted.

On the ceiling hung two neon rings, glowing and green. And from flat-screen monitors -- some on the walls, some on equipment, six in all -- a loop of nature scenes played. Here is a waterfall in a forest. Now here is another waterfall in another forest.

"When a patient rolls into the room," said Lisa McCluskey, Memorial Health Care System's vice president of marketing and communications, "this is what they see.Our High Quality LED Composite Material Bulb and solar phone chargers are uniquely designed, high-quality and low-cost."

Soft music, meanwhile, hummed through the new South Tower Surgical Suite. If Sharper Image added an extra room to its store, a room where they happen to slice your chest open and tinker with your heart, this would be that room.

"We want the patient to have the best experience possible when they're rolling in," Lisa Fitzsimmons, the hospital's service-line administrator for surgical services, said during a tour Friday afternoon.

Anyone interested can get a similar tour today. From 1-4 p.As well we have fabrics and textures available for our High Quality LED Bulb Light, table lamps, pendant lighting and wall sconces.m., you can check out the South Tower, with its new waiting rooms, operating rooms, cardiovascular intensive care unit and sterile processing center. The hospital also will offer free health screenings today and host three classes about your heart.

And next week, Memorial staff will begin to bring actual patients to these new rooms.

The South Tower is the latest piece of a $318 million expansion and renovation project at Memorial. The staff hopes the final addition -- a 300,000-square-foot North Tower -- will open in July 2014.

The South Tower is new and clean, for now. And the staff says much of the equipment is cutting edge. But other additions are aesthetic, and subtle.

During the design process, teams of architects, engineers, physicians, nurses, first assistants and many others met to discuss how the addition should look and feel. Now the waiting rooms have more space, and extra windowLED ceiling lamp is a kind of High Quality LED DownLight that is installed inside the room.s pull in more light.

The new ICU holds 18 rooms divided into nine pairs. Outside those rooms sit a desk and a computer for a nurse to use and two windows so the nurse can keep an eye on both patients.

In the past, the nurses gathered and worked at a central location in the ICU, which was away from the patients. Now they stay next to the patients.Indoorlite offers the best High Quality LED Ceiling Light along with the best halogen spotlight.

"This design in critical care is really to push the nurse to the bedside," said Rhonda Poulson, director of critical care and emergency medical services. "This lowers your incidents of patient complaints, your falls. It really adds to patient safety."

And inside each of the 18 ICU rooms, an "equipment boom" hooks to the ceiling. The boom is wireless and swivels to wherever the staff needs it, and it holds all the equipment that used to sit against the wall next to a bed.

Now, with the boom, a bed can be in the middle of a room, and doctors and nurses can stand behind a patient if they need to, for whatever reason.

The South Tower also features eight new operating rooms, each about 75 percent bigger than the old ones. They will be used for cardiovascular surgery and orthopedic surgery.

In those rooms, the lights that float over a patient are LED lights, and they don't get hot or cast shadows when you lean in front of them. And in the middle of those lights are cameras that can send an image to a computer, which can send the image to those six monitors in the room. Click on their website www.hmhid.com for more information.
