What will make the new hospital different from the existing hospital in South Bend?
Hellyer: The new, world-class $355 million facility at Edison Lakes is designed with a focus on maximizing patient safety and operational efficiencies. While our current facility in South Bend has had numerous expansions over the years, our new hospital will ensure that departments are adjacent to each other, both horizontally and vertically, for improved flow of care for our patients, their physicians and other caregivers. Because of its architectural design, entering and exiting the hospital will be more streamlined for both patients and visitors. The mechanical systems in our new high-tech hospital will be more efficient, providing state-of-the-art patient care and comfort. We will utilize the Green Guidelines for Healthcare, a national certification program for healthcare construction, using recycled and other environmentally conscious materials for greater sustainability. The safety aspect will continue to be improved; for example, bathrooms will be designed to be adjacent to beds
