Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla., has expanded through a $378 million, five-floor patient tower as part of the system’s “Bold. Forward. Unbound.” investments.
The tower adds 166 new patient beds to the hospital’s medical and surgical nursing units, bringing its capacity to 419 beds, according to an April 2 news release.
It also comprises a patient digital wall to help with clinical education, information, communication, entertainment and relaxation.
“The expansion of our hospital is not just a new building, it is a bold reimagining and blueprint for the future of healthcare delivery, codesigned with the collective wisdom of those who live and breathe it,” Michael Maniaci, MD, professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic College of Medicine and Science, said in the release. “By weaving together the insights of both our staff and our patients, we’ve created a space where innovation is not only imagined but also implemented, shaped by the very people it serves.”
