Ely-Bloomenson Hospital

Expanding to provide efficient healthcare services

The Ely-Bloomenson Hospital master plan looked at operations, medical trends, local demographics, patient count, and design and construction options so they could maximize their budget.

DSGW Architects reviewed and analyzed each facility’s operational needs and current delivery systems. A two-hour forum was presented to the hospital on what medical trends and innovations are useful in helping providers adapt to the increased demand (and increased expectations) of patient care.

With ideas and options on the table, DSGW worked with hospital administrators, board members, and staff to review all options and ultimately designed a more efficient and effective healthcare facility for each community.

Results of the Master Plan

The patient recovery rooms were moved to a quiet area—away from in-patient traffic. The nurses’ station was re-located to become the hub of the hospital—allowing nurses quick access to all parts of the facility. And, with Ely’s large influx of summer tourists, an additional trauma bay was added.

All told, a 47,000 square foot renovation was designed to include: a new emergency room, new hospitals rooms, updated imaging center, larger clinic exam room, new physical fitness wellness center, and new administrative area.
