The new Louis & Peaches Owen Heart Hospital is a 184,600-square-foot facility that includes 72 new private patient rooms; a cardiac intensive care unit; cardiac surgical suites; and comprehensive cardiac, thoracic, vascular and pulmonary services—as well as state-of-the-art equipment and integrated electronic health records. A new imaging center connects the new building and the existing hospital.
An article and photo tour of the new hospital is posted on the the Healthcare Design website.
