ALTERNATIVE MEANS
The Mercy Hospital Joplin team may have had a short schedule of 39 months to construct a replacement for the former St. John's Mercy Regional Medical Center after it was destroyed in a May 22, 2011, tornado, but within days of the
storm, Mercy officials recognized that the community couldn't go three weeks let alone three-plus years without the
healthcare services that had been lost with the building.
And while the industry trend toward a reduction in inpatient beds and increase in outpatient care was considered,
John Farnen, Mercy's executive director of strategic projects, says it was immediately apparent that an acute care hospital was a must. "We were either going to have to rebuild or somebody was going to have to add more inpatient beds
in the community, because the need was there."
In order to continue to provide care in Joplin, the solution was three incarnations of interim facilities that carried the
load through to the March 2015 opening of the new Mercy Hospital Joplin.
TENT/FIELD HOSPITAL
Opened: May 29, 2011
Features: The 10,000-square-foot tent-like structure housed 30 beds as
well as an ED and ICU, lab, pharmacy, and cafeteria.
Services: The tent hospital offered many capabilities, including ORs and
MRI and CT services, but all components were mobile.
Takeaways: This was the fastest way to get a hospital up and running, but
it was completely reliant on generator power.
Team members: Mercy, McCarthy Building Cos. Inc., Heideman
PREFABRICATED/PORTABLE HOSPITAL
Opened: August 8, 2011
Features: Prefabricated sections were assembled into a 30-bed, 30,000 squarefoot hard-sided hospital to replace the tent/field hospital with the same components.
Services: This solution provided full-service hospital capabilities and room for clinics and administrative offices.
Takeaways: The upgrade was needed to add more than typical hospital services
such as the clinics. It also allowed Mercy to stop using generator power.
Team members: Mercy, McCarthy, Johnson Portable Structures, Aspen Street
Architects, Heideman
Opened: April 15, 2012
Features: This modular/component structure was 30 percent stronger than the
original hospital destroyed, with window glass rated for 200 mph winds. With
156,000 square feet and 144 available beds, it was in use until the replacement
was completed.
Services: The fully functional hospital offered an expanded OR and critical care
capabilities as well as a designated area for trauma patients.
Takeaways: More permanent than the portable buildings, this upgrade was a
necessary move to provide care in Joplin for the three years remaining to complete the new hospital.
