Following a community open house Saturday, St. Francis Hospital – Mooresville opens its $42 million expansion today. The expanded facilities include new and modern inpatient units and high-tech surgery suites, as well as many amenities to enhance patient and visitor comfort and promote healing.
The new orthopaedic and adult inpatient nursing units offer private patient rooms, modern conveniences and the latest technology for patients and the medical team. Each inpatient room is equipped with two flat-screen televisions,
a sofa that converts to a bed for an overnight guest, a desk and wireless Internet connectivity.
Visitors may take breaks in the new coffee bar and gift shop, conveniently located in the hospital’s new three-story main gallery.
Physicians and medical staff have access to wireless communication technology and bedside charting for improved caregiver communication and efficiency. Patient care stations are located outside patient rooms in addition to the centralized nursing station, enabling physicians and nurses to perform their responsibilities closer to the patient.
Six new surgery suites offer the latest in surgical technology, including a high-tech video and photography system in every operating room. Each operating room is equipped with laminar airflow and ultraviolet light technology for sterilization, which is critical in preventing infection.
While technology is important, we know that creating a healing environment is crucial to recovery. Careful consideration was given to the views from patient rooms, and two large rooftop gardens will be visible from many of the rooms to help promote healing.
