First Look at the Proposed Advocate Healthcare Project

I got some fact sheets from Advocate Health Care and there are some interesting facts in the flyer which I am listing below.

As the largest provider of high quality health care in the Chicago area, Advocate Health Care seeks approval to build a comprehensive, state-of-the-art hospital designed to meet the needs of rapidly growing northwest Lake County. The new hospital will complement the wide range of health care services Advocate already provides to the region.
Some of the Services

• Advocate Hospital-Lake County is designed to meet community expectations for access to vital, high quality health care. The hospital will include 144 single rooms to enhance patient safety, privacy and comfort.
• The hospital will have 108 medical-surgical beds, a 16-bed intensive care unit and 20 obstetrical beds. The obstetrical service also will include six labor/delivery-recovery rooms and a Level II newborn nursery.
• The hospital is designed to include a Level II trauma center, providing immediate access to emergency services for seriously injured patients, 24 hours a day, every day.
• All medical-surgical and obstetric patient rooms will be large enough to allow overnight accommodation of a family member or loved one. A separate family room for overnight stay will be included on the intensive care unit.
• Other hospital services will include eight surgery and procedure suites, cardiology, pediatrics and a full array of diagnostic imaging services.
• Designed as an environmentally sensitive “green” building, Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification will be sought for the hospital from the U.S. Green Building Council.
