Developed as part of a master plan, major renovation of bed tower is completed at Palos Health St. George Pavilion

CHICAGO, IL—Palos Health (formerly Palos Community Hospital) recently completed a major renovation of the North and South Towers of the existing St. George Pavilion at the Palos Heights, IL campus. The multi-phased project was developed as part of an earlier master plan which outlined the conversion of semi-private patient rooms to private as a result of construction of the new 192 bed Hospitaller Pavilion completed in 2013. The St. George Pavilion South Tower consists of 27 Medical/Surgical beds, 26 Obstetrics beds and a 27-bed Orthopedics Unit. The renovated North Tower contains an additional 54 Medical/Surgical beds, a dedicated 40-bed Psychiatric Unit and updated public elevator lobbies on all floors. Materials and finishes match the Hospitaller Pavilion to seamlessly organize the transition between the new and renovated facilities. M&CA worked closely with the design/construction team, including the Owner, Consultants, Contractor and Subcontractors in a design-assist approach to share information early in the schedule to provide a seamless transition during the construction process.

Palos Health is a full-service, regional health care provider that has served Chicago’s southwest suburbs for more than 40 years, guided by the traditions of quality, respect and trust since 1972.
