The entry point of this immersive facility begins at the redesigned hospital entrance, welcoming patients into an efficient reception and registration area. IOS houses a brand-new 28-bed perioperative suite, an epidural clinic, and an urgent care clinic with x-ray capabilities to handle all urgent orthopaedic conditions. Patient experiences are enhanced with private patient rooms and private observation rooms. Additional state-of-the-art operating rooms were added adjacent to existing operating rooms, greatly expanding procedure capacity. With the increased procedure capacity, the existing central sterile services suite was expanded and completely renovated with state-of-the-art cleaning and sterilization equipment. The facility also includes a newly equipped lab suite and pharmacy suite, providing comprehensive care to patients. The building exterior was transformed, doing away with the dated generic façade and mansard roofs. Now, IOS carries a modern and expressive form that mirrors the level of excellent care it is committed to providing. Redesign at this facility provides patients and providers with increased privacy, acoustics, access to food, cleanliness, comfort, ease of access, and safety measures.
