GLASTONBURY, Conn. — On Monday, June 1, Yale-New Haven Hospital in Connecticut officially opened its new outpatient medical center in Old Saybrook. The outpatient facility, a 24,500-square-foot renovation project designed by The S/L/A/M Collaborative and built by Consigli Construction, is now able to offer a broad array of clinical services.
These include pediatric specialty services, a comprehensive Smilow Cancer Hospital Care Center, musculoskeletal services, urology and vascular services, blood draw, medical imaging, allergy/immunology, physical therapy, rheumatology, X-ray services, ultrasounds and specialty healthcare services for adults and children.
“With the patient experience as our priority, the project challenges the traditional outpatient setting and opts to create a more streamlined, consistent and, ultimately, a more pleasant experience for both patients and staff,” says Doug Mayne, AIA, SLAM project designer. “The project explores several new ideas such as central check-in and registration, integrated imaging and procedure space, modular exam rooms, collaborative work areas for staff, and is intended to serve as a prototype for future outpatient efforts within the YNHH system.”
Yale-New Haven Hospital hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 26 for the new medical center located at 633 Middlesex Turnpike in Old Saybrook.
