Baptist Medical Center breaks ground on new inpatient building
Jan. 16, 2008 - (Jacksonville, Fla.) Baptist Medical Center broke ground on a new inpatient building at Baptist Nassau in Fernandina Beach, Florida. The new facility will relieve crowding at the current facility and allow for a more efficient work environment for physicians, nurses and staff.
The $16.7 million, two-story medical/surgical inpatient care facility will include a new intensive care unit, and 48 private medical/surgical inpatient rooms with private baths and showers; bedside controls for blinds, lights, TV, Internet and nurse calls; and family-friendly amenities such as day beds and refrigerators. The new intensive care unit will accommodate up to eight patients, twice Baptist Nassau’s current capacity, and allow nurses and medical staff to have more working space, resulting in an increase in job efficiency and reduction of distractions. The new addition will also have more storage space for supplies and equipment, which will reduce clutter and noise in hallways.
