LENOX HILL HOSPITAL

This multi-phased expansion doubled the size of the Emergency Department, to include specialty treatment rooms for pediatrics, ophthalmology, obstetrics and gynecology, radiology, otolaryngology, and orthopedics. The new facility was designed for efficient, comfortable care.

In the open plan department every space is easily converted into essential operating modes; intake nurses are no longer confined to their desks; waiting rooms are open and inviting yet private; and patients are treated within moments of their arrival. Discrete controls have been placed throughout the department for secure treatment, infection control, and disaster preparedness. Separate entrances for walk-ins and ambulance arrival facilitate triage, testing, and treatment. A new elevator clears congestion and reduces possible contamination from the main hospital.
