New patient wing just the beginning for Phelps

An open house celebrating the new patient wing at Phelps Memorial Health Center in Holdrege, Nebraska will occur on February 18. The new 25-bed wing is part of the first phase that will eventually add more then 47,000 square feet of space. Phase I, when completed, will include operating suites, an obstetrics hall and nursery, and is the start of further additions and renovations to the facility, which was originally built in 1968. The patient rooms will offer offer a view to a new courtyard as well as flatscreen TV’s, large bathrooms, and sofa sleepers for family and friends.

Phase II is currently under design and will include same-day-surgery, lab, ER, a new main entrance and renovations of administrative and outpatient functions within the existing facility.

Effingham “ready to operate”

The first surgery is already scheduled to take place in Effingham Hospital’s new surgery center, part of the 58,000 square foot expansion designed by JJCA to bring the Georgia community state-of-the-art healthcare services.

The hospital held an open house on January 28th that began with the local Boy Scout troop raising the U.S. and Georgia flags and featured Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle as keynote speaker. The community was treated to hospital tours following the ceremony and was impressed with the look and feel of the new space.

From five minutes to $5 million

Lourdes Cardiovascular Institute

When JJCA was brought on board in 2007 to design the $5 million, 20,000 square foot Cardiovascular Institute at Lourdes Hospital in Paducah, Kentucky, we were charged with bringing together a variety of cardiovascular services that were spread all over the existing campus. And, since the addition would be made to the very front of the hospital, it needed to tie seamlessly into the architecture of the rest of the hospital. Ron Henley, facility engineer, says that JJCA principal Julia Covington and team were there every step of the way – from pre-design to closeout, and that the end result is something both he and JJCA can be very proud of.

We’ve worked on a variety of projects both great and small for Lourdes over the years, from new construction and renovations, to code updates and square footages for lease agreements. In fact we just recently completed our 28th project with them. According to Ron, “I can call at 7:00 a.m. or 7:00 p.m. and whether it’s a five minute job or a $5 million job, JJCA responds quickly and efficiently.”

Trimming the JJCA tree…

The annual JJCA ornament is a highly-competitive event. Check out just a few of this year’s entries, including a “JJCA-opoly” board, commemorating the 20th anniversary. If you look closely you’ll see that it incorporates every project included in our 20th anniversary series, along with several other “chance” items. Nice ornament, Linda Mark!
