Project Details:
Good Samaritan Hospital in Vincennes, Indiana, broke ground on the BEACON Project—a $109 million patient tower addition and renovation. The project consists of a new five-story, 200,000 square foot, 120-bed inpatient tower, and the redesign of the existing healthcare facility.
BSA LifeStructures’ design was focused on improving healthcare outcomes and providing a facility that enhances the regional status of Good Samaritan Hospital. The addition will feature private patient rooms with space to better accommodate visitors and families. The firm will measure patient safety, physician and patient satisfaction, infrastructure excellence, and a number of other metrics to connect the new built environment to measurable outcomes. Good Samaritan Hospital has worked very closely with the project team, which includes Hunt Construction Group, to ensure the project delivers a facility capable of serving a patients, staff, and physicians.
