New Tower Brochure

Advocate BroMenn Medical Center’s campus

modernization project is nearing completion.

This two-year, three-story, $53.35 million

building project began in May 2010 with a

groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate

the official start of construction. Completion

of the 79,000 finished square foot addition

that will replace our Obstetrics, Intensive Care

and Step-down units is expected in June 2012.

Planning for the facility began over seven years

ago and included input from our patients and

the community, physicians, nursing staff, our

leadership team and health care consultants.

BUILDING ON EXCELLENCE

The design of this facility will take us well into

the future and help us modernize units of the

hospital that currently reside in areas built

well over 40 years ago. For the Obstetrics unit,

the overall environment has been specially

designed for the experience of birth and the

care of newborns during their first days, and

will assure the privacy and safety of new moms

and their families.

In both our obstetrics and intensive care

patient rooms, you will note a light wood

flooring in the center of the room surrounded

by a dark wood trim. This lighter wood area

helps define the “patient zone” of the room.
