During the third wave, St. Joe’s began using the ICU West space for additional critical care capacity as a short-term solution. Over the past few months, we have been preparing to create a permanent space to accommodate increased critical care capacity.

 

At the same time, we have closely examined the suitability of our physical environments for patient populations in critical care, general internal medicine and post-acute care. This is an opportunity for us to better align our clinical spaces with the needs of our patients, while also relocating units with similar patient populations in closer proximity to one another to support efficiency and best care practices.

 

As of February 15, the following changes have occurred as part of the first stage of the move:

Current Name	New Name
5 ALC	ALC 6 Tower
CTU North	CTU 6 MG
CTU West	CTU 4MG
CTU Central	CTU 4BD

 

The COVID Unit will remain on CTU Central at this time.

 

Phone and fax numbers for these units will remain the same.

 

Further staff and patient movement are planned for March as part of the second stage of the move. More information on the second stage will be shared in the coming weeks.
