Welcome to the HealthcareFacilitiesToday.com weekly roundup. Check out the key posts from last week and hit the ground running on Monday.
There were lots of projects in the news last week — with updates on successes and challenges. Boston Children’s Hospital is still dealing with protests against the demolition of a healing garden to make room for a new building.
On the other hand, a project in Oakland is celebrating the energy-efficiency of its new acute care tower and another project in Texas is enjoying its “patient-friendliness.”
Of course, it’s not just about what you build — the where is just as important. Location. Location. Location. That’s why the Mayo Clinic is joining other major players building in Florida.
And, for something completely different, we can’t resist calling out the article about a live white python falling from the ceiling of a Tacoma hospital. Yikes!
