BayCare opened a new patient tower at Mease Countryside Hospital that will improve health care delivery in Pinellas County, reports Patch.
The addition of the Bilheimer Tower means Mease Countryside Hospital now has a majority of private rooms for patients.
It also brings all critical care rooms together in one location, increasing the capacity from 26 to 34 while improving efficiencies for physicians, team members and support services. In total, this project creates 76 new licensed beds plus an additional 30 observation beds for patients needing extended examination before being discharged or admitted. Read more.
