Patient Rooms
Private patient rooms feature large windows to showcase artful landscapes and plenty of space for family members.
Heart Care Recovery in a Comforting Enviroment
One of the most important aspects of patient recovery is comfort. With this in mind, more than 200 physicians, nurses and clinical staff were consulted in the development of patient rooms for the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute. More than a year of studying evidence-based research helped determine the best architecture for patient comfort and safety.
Prebys Cardiovascular Institute will include 108 private, in-patient rooms that feature separate patient entry points for privacy along with the latest in monitoring technology to maximize health care providers’ response to patients’ needs.
