Tallahassee healthcare facility designed to meet growing demand

M.T. Mustian Center designed to serve community for decades


The $250 million M.T. Mustian Center in Tallahassee, Fla., has been designed to meet the area's growing demand, according to an article on the Construction Equipment Guide website.

According to Barbara Alford, R.N., vice president, chief nursing operations officer, “When we looked into the development of the ICU Rooms, we researched the evidence on what kind of design would provide the best patient care. The elements we focused on were the minimization of movement for patients and family, bringing in as much light as possible, providing comfortable family sleeping, and colleague working and respite areas.”

Officials developed plans to modernize the operating rooms and adult intensive care units to meet the growing demand in the area, the article said.

The center will be designed to accommodate future additions of operating rooms and intensive care beds, as well.
