LVH–Cedar Crest Construction Update

You Help Design Our New Patient Rooms

Patient care coordinator Cindy Meeker, R.N., and her open heart unit (OHU) colleagues are hands-on in designing LVH–Cedar Crest’s new patient rooms. “Colleagues contribute many ideas to make the new TOHU ideal for patients and staff,” she says.

One example—instead of installing electrical outlets behind patient beds, OHU colleagues suggested mounting them a few feet off the floor alongside the beds. This makes it easier for nurses who need to access the outlets. “An efficient work environment allows us to spend more time at the bedside caring for patients,” Meeker says.

As construction crews bring your ideas to life, here’s where you’ll see the most progress being made this month:

Main Entrance-Remind visitors that our free valet parking service will not be affected by the construction of a new road directly in front of the Pool Pavilion. When the road is complete, excavation will begin in front of the Jaindl Pavilion and 1210 building for the first of two new parking decks.

Ring Road-Through June, crews will work around the clock to install water and sanitation lines along the road. Traffic control will be in place, and flagmen will be used if necessary.

Kasych Family Pavilion-Three stories of structural steel will be added to the three levels already in place. The seventh and final story will be erected in July.

Center for Ambulatory Medicine-Outside, the windows are being installed. Inside, electrical and plumbing work continues.

Pedestrian Bridge-A new entrance to the 1240 building is complete, allowing for construction to begin on the bridge’s foundation.
