Health care

The first wave of patients have has moved into their private rooms at the new 96-bed St. John’s Mercy Heart Hospital, the first St. Louis-area hospital devoted to cardiovascular medicine and the capstone of St. John’s Mercy Medical Center’s campus master plan. The $1040 million, 350,000-square-foot hospital combines all heart-related services under one roof. Universal patient rooms are fully equipped to handle intensive care patients and are designed to comfortably accommodate overnight stays for family members. Having recently completed the 153,000-square-foot Women’s and Children’s Health Center vertical expansion built atop the adjacent main hospital patient tower, McCarthy used their its in-depth understanding of the Medical Center’s campus vision to overcome design and schedule challenges to successfully achieve the original project completion date.
