Med-Surg Unit at St. Elizabeth’s Boston Medical Center Meets Heightened Care Demands

The new medical-surgical unit at St. Elizabeth’s Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts comes just in time to meet heightened demand for care in the growing community.

Led by the design team at HED and working closely with engineering partners from BR+A and general contractor Consigli Construction, this $6.3-million med-surg unit adds 16 patient beds, including two isolation rooms, to the hospital’s existing 140 med-surg bed count.

The 10,00- square-foot project was designed in just 30 days, and construction documents were completed in 10 weeks to add new flexible, acuity-adaptable beds as quickly as possible. The suite was built in just eight months.
