Health system adapts to change through consolidation
Capital Health's plan features three capital improvement projects, implemented over seven years
According to a case study on the Array Architects website, health system consolidation was a bold step for Capital Health in the late 1990s. The climate was competitive, with more than 10 regional hospitals across six neighboring counties in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The key to Capital Health's plan was adaptability, according to the study. The plan featured three capital improvement projects, implemented over seven years.
Located at One Center Square, in downtown Allentown, the campus will include more than 54,000 square feet of newly constructed medical education space.
The approximately 35,000-square-foot facility is designed around the needs of patients and families, bringing together hospital, clinic and diagnostic services in one location.
