Livingston Hospital

With an aging facility, Livingston HealthCare was asking itself the same tough questions a lot of critical access hospitals do: How can we improve the patient experience? Should we move and rebuild? What’s the best option for funding? For Livingston HealthCare to move forward with a major construction project, it would need to find a viable option that met the changing healthcare needs of area residents, while working within a tight budget. 

A condition assessment of its existing facility and site evaluation study confirmed the best path forward was building a new hospital on a new site. ERDMAN worked with Livingston HealthCare to establish a set of guiding principles that established the basis for achieving design excellence and project success. Evidence-based design methodologies were used to create efficient patient flows, improve patient experiences, and increase staff satisfaction. Design features were cost-effective and sustainable, captured the local aesthetic, and maximized access to breathtaking mountain views. Today, Livingston HealthCare has a state-of-the-art critical access hospital that can successfully evolve with its community.
