Description

Ten years ago, PeaceHealth, a Catholic health care system comprised of seven hospitals and multiple physician clinics serving Washington, Oregon, and Alaska, embarked on a journey to replace its flagship hospital. Sacred Heart Medical Center, in Eugene, Oregon, was a 432-bed tertiary care facility serving much of western Oregon. Following the development of a new 386-bed facility in Springfield, Oregon, known as Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend, it is now a two-campus hospital with a total of 490 beds. It is the largest medical center between Portland, Oregon, and Sacramento, California. Our pivotal decision was to engage two architectural firms--one with resort and hospitality experience, and the other, Anshen and Allen, with more than two-thirds of its focus on evidence-based hospital design. A lead Anshen and Allen partner suggested that we join the Pebble Group. We agreed that ours would be an ideal project to contribute to the body of evidence regarding hospital design. While we knew little about this science, we did know that we had one of the most beautiful sites in the country--185 acres on the McKenzie River, known for its spectacular fly fishing. Careful orientation of the new hospital could give virtually all patient rooms a view of the McKenzie River, the nearby Coburg Hills, or the Oregon Coast range.
