Saint Thomas Midtown has multiple projects underway in various stages from planning to completion. A number of specialty areas are being reworked and redesigned to enhance patient experience and accommodate new technologies.

A hybrid operating room is currently in development for enhanced vascular treatment. The cardiac update also includes MRI replacement, along with renovation of part of the Cath Lab to enhance capabilities to function as a hybrid to bridge the gap between Cath and Electrophysiology.

The fifth floor is home to the Neurosurgery and Orthopedic Spine renovation, which also created a separate patient entrance. The Spine Institute held a ribbon-cutting ceremony last month to celebrate completion of the comprehensive space specifically designed to care for spine patients from pro-op through recovery. The seventh floor is site of a Gynecology renovation updating pre- and post-op surgical areas, as well as waiting areas. On the eight floor, the new Clinical Decision Making Unit has been completed.

The Emergency Department Fast Track renovation is in development to allow a separate pathway for lower acuity patients to receive care efficiently. In addition, the ED has already seen a number of interior design upgrades with more to come. An EMS breakroom expansion and upgrade more than doubled the size of the previous space to give first responders an updated place to rest and reenergize.
