Master Facility Project

Master Facility Project Moving Forward

Through its strategic vision and smart planning, Provena Saint Joseph Medical Center carries on its nearly 125-year tradition of care and service that will improve facilities and enhance health care services to  patients.  This major reinvestment will build on the excellent care Provena Saint Joseph already provides to create a top-quality health care facility bringing healing and hope to our patients for generations.  

The construction of the Master Facility Project is underway with the construction of the 700-space parking garage.  The Bed Tower, expected to be completed in 2009, will offer the people of the Will County area first class care in their own backyard.  

An eight-story addition will be built with all private rooms that will bring the Medical Center’s overall staffed inpatient beds to 475 while bringing the comforts of family and home to our patients through private bath, comfortable seating for visitors and even overnight accommodations for family.

With the building of these new facilities, comes the area’s first comprehensive dedicated Women and Children’s Center.  This center houses luxurious Family Birthing Suites and a Level II-plus Neonatal Nursery to care for infants as young as 28 weeks.  Also, a cutting edge 4-bed Pediatric Intensive Care Unit will be added and a healing garden. 

Design of the Master Facility Plan is being informed by research linking a medical institution’s physical environment with positive patient and staff outcomes.  The Center for Health Design, a nonprofit research and advocacy organization, is at the forefront of this research.  PSJMC is one of only 26 Pebble Project Partners in the country, a joint research effort between the Center and select healthcare providers.
