Sacred Hearth Hospital - Regional Heart & Vascular Institute

Five story (112 bed) veritcal expansion. $52 million project.

Floors 4 and 5 of Bayou Tower are intensive care units with a total of 40 ICU rooms for patients with life-threatening conditions. The updated floor plan includes spacious rooms with large interior windows and workstations between the rooms to allow physicians and staff to maintain visual contact with critically-ill patients.

Floors 6 and 7 have 25 rooms on each floor for patients treated for cardiac conditions, including those recovering from heart surgery or cardiac procedures. Each room has a private bathroom, an exterior window, and additional space for family and visitors. The floor plan includes centrally-located nursing stations and large physician work areas.

The top floor is dedicated to Sacred Heart’s Joint Replacement Center with 22 beds and a large rehabilitation area with a great view. Moving from its current location just off the busy first-floor hallway in the main hospital, the new center will offer four more beds than the current facility provides, as well as greater patient privacy. A total of 800 square feet of the new Joint Replacement Center will be devoted to a rehabilitation suite. The area will include a therapy kitchen to help patients learn how to safely navigate a kitchen and cook while recovering from joint replacement. A therapy bathroom also will be included to teach patients how to safely utilize a bathroom during recovery.
