Planning is underway for a unique expansion to Casey Hospital using temporary patient bays.
While still in its early stages, the plan involves the installation of demountable units featuring 10-12 patient bays (with resuscitation capabilities) in specially-designed ‘cubes’ adjacent to Casey’s Emergency Department.
With the addition of these innovative demountable units – scheduled for completion later this year – Casey Hospital will increase its acute Emergency Department capacity for both its COVID and non-COVID patients.
The facilities included in the demountable include:
- Negative airflow rooms
- Dirty Utility, Clean Utility
- Staff base
- Nurse station
- Employee break room
- Shared bathrooms
Stay tuned in the weeks and months ahead as we continue to provide updates on this project.
