Limited by the inefficiencies of its existing facility, Owensboro Health Regional Hospital in Owensboro, Ky., came to a conclusion about its future: Delivering a higher quality of care meant starting over and rebuilding. On June 1, Owensboro Health, along with its project team of HGA Architects and Engineers (Milwaukee); KLMK Group Inc. (Richmond, Va. ); Smith Seckman Reid Inc. (SSR) (Nashville); and Turner Construction (Nashville), unveiled a modern 780,000-square-foot hospital with a flexible and integrated plan. Its fluid design with sweeping lines and nearly floor-to-ceiling windows on each floor that open up to an outside view of the Ohio River, ponds, courtyards, and 1,000-plus trees make the hospital itself a part of the healing process.
