Suffolk Construction and S/L/A/M Collaborative top off $21 million Holy Family Hospital project

Suffolk Construction Company and the architectural firm, The S/L/A/M Collaborative, recently joined with officials of Holy Family Hospital to celebrate the hospital's 60th anniversary by topping off the new $21 million emergency center. The 21,000 s/f facility nearly doubles the hospital's capacity to care for emergency patients while extending advanced emergency medicine to a greater number of patients and families from southern New Hampshire and the Merrimack Valley. When the expanded emergency center is completed later this year, the hospital will be able to accommodate 54,000 emergency visits annually. Currently, emergency visits number around 30,000 each year. The new emergency center will be equipped with: · 34 private treatment bays, including six fast track rooms, · an on-site CT Scanner, · and a double trauma room. "It's a considerable accomplishment to gain the trust and support of healthcare organizations," said Jim Tracey, vice president of Suffolk Construction. "We have a number of ongoing projects with Caritas Healthcare and are thrilled to be working with Holy Family on this project. We look forward to persevering our long-standing relationship with Caritas and are honored to be considered a valued partner." Caritas Healthcare, the owner of Holy Family, has awarded Suffolk and S/L/A/M projects on multiple campuses, including the Carney Hospital, Good Samaritan Medical Center, St. Anne's Hospital and St. Elizabeth's Medical Center. Suffolk is partnering with the S/L/A/M Collaborative at Holy Family Hospital. "Working day-to-day with the extended clinical community during the design on this project was a pleasure, and the results will ring true upon opening day of their new Emergency Center," said Rick Polvino, AIA, project manager for S/L/A/M.
