Project Description
Hills + Dales General Hospital has served its community as a critical care provider for nearly 60 years. The hospital recognized the rapidly changing healthcare needs of the region and sought a professional consultant to evaluate their existing campus and develop an updated master plan for future facility improvements.
The Ghafari team evaluated the hospital’s service lines and assessed their existing facilities and space allocations. Using this information, we forecasted the space needed to meet future operational volumes. Our proposed solution called for a 12,000 SF expansion to the hospital along with approximately 16,000 SF of renovations on the first and second floors. In addition to expanding the facility’s capacity, our plan relocated some of the hospital’s administrative functions to provide a consolidated physician practice. The plan also added a new, more welcoming canopied entrance that would house a lobby, private registration area and a gift shop.
This transformation creates a place of healing for the modern era, enabling all who work there, from physicians and nurses to administrators, to provide premium patient care.
