Cox Medical Center South in Springfield, Mo., has completed the patient move to its new $130-million 343,000-square-foot West Tower, according to an article on the Medical Construction & Design website.
The ground floor is home to the new neonatal intensive care unit. The unit houses 28 beds and each infant will have its own room, and the rooms will have a twin bed so one parent can stay overnight.
The floor also has a lounge with a kitchen, free wireless Internet, TV, a shower and locker facilities for parents.
A 26-bed pediatric unit is directly above. Each private room includes an Xbox gaming system and a seating area.
