Projects Designed with the Patient in Mind
In a matter of not more than 20 months, Floyd has completed four construction projects, each designed to meet the special needs and desires of the patients and families who require them.
The new Observation Unit, redesigned Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), expanded Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and new Urgent Care and Floyd Corporate Health Center were conceived with the patient experience at the forefront. Observation Unit
Floyd Urgent Care and Corporate Health Center A new Floyd Urgent Care and Corporate Health Center opened in July 2017. The 8,600-square-foot facility, located at 302 Shorter Ave. includes a larger Urgent Care practice, as well as a customized center for Corporate Health patients, both focused on improving the patient experience. The relocated facility has 14 patient rooms, double the number at the previous location. The patient rooms surround a central nurses' station with digital patient-tracking monitors, giving nurses the ability to easily monitor and quickly access every patient. In addition, this Rome Urgent Care location has two procedure rooms, on-site digital imaging and on-site dispensing for commonly prescribed medications. Floyd Urgent Care in Rome is staffed by Dr. Robert Holcombe, Medical Director of Floyd Urgent Care, Dr. Duriel Gray and Dr. Kristine Mull. Dr. Holcombe has practiced here for more than 20 years. The Corporate Health Center serves employees and families of employers who partner with Floyd Corporate Health for services. Available services include drug, vision and hearing screenings, immunizations, workers' compensation injuries and general medical care. Corporate Health patients are directed to a dedicated employee lounge that is separate from Urgent Care. The customized suite is designed for the efficient delivery of Corporate Health services.
Floyd Medical Center’s new Observation Unit was created for patients who come to the hospital but do not meet criteria for admission as inpatients. These patients will be admitted to the new 11-bed nursing area on Floyd Medical Center’s fifth floor where they can be treated and observed. The Observation Unit is located in the space formerly allocated to the coronary care unit (CCU), which was combined with the Intensive Care Unit when that area was remodeled and expanded earlier.
