“When Blitch designed our initial 247-bed facility, they planned for future growth. Because of their foresight, we’ve been able to expand to nearly 600 beds in a logical, orderly manner without disrupting our patients.” – ORRIS S. BENNETT, FORMER CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, EAST JEFFERSON GENERAL HOSPITAL
A master plan for growth was developed to allow phased implementation of two additional catheterization labs and increase the capacity of the Gulf South Heart Center’s cardiac catheterization department.
