FEATURES

COLOSSUS OF CARE

With a size and budget practically unheard of in healthcare design today, Dallas County's
New Parkland Hospital has transfixed the industry for years. Now preparing for an August
opening, the project showcases a design inspired by the public hospital's pursuit to rival
private competitors and the need for an environment that will stand the test of time-even
with 1 million patient visits a year. By Jennifer Kovacs Silvis

LITTLE THINGS

Hospitals and health systems around the country are investing capital dollars in the
birth experience, from creating standalone birth centers to renovating obstetrics units,
all in an effort to get the details right for that special day-and, hopefully, inspire lifelong
relationships along the way. By Jennifer Kovacs Silvis

UNDER ONE ROOF

Providence Medical Park in Spokane, Wash., used Lean thinking inside and out to create
a streamlined patient experience that incorporates both primary and specialty care.
By Pierce McVey
