For the past few months, OSF HealthCare Sacred Heart Medical Center in Danville, Illinois, has been renovating the patient care area on the hospital’s fourth floor. Upgrades have been made to the floor, ceiling, furniture, showers, nurse call system and telemetry system. The walls have a fresh coat of paint and new artwork. The project was made possible thanks to generous community donations.
“Anywhere there’s patient care at the hospital, we’re looking at upgrading,” said Ned Hill, president of OSF Sacred Heart. “The fourth floor is usually where people spend multiple days with us to get better, so we want the area to feel welcoming and modern.”
Phase one of the upgrade, comprising roughly half of the patient care area, is nearing completion. Patients will soon be receiving care in the completed half while the other half is vacated to start renovations. OSF Mission Partners (employees), community leaders and others will gather to bless the completed space on February 21.
