MCH Center for Heart Disease

Size: 20,000 SF
Client: Medical Center Hospital - Odessa, Texas

MCH’s new Center for Heart Disease has two major program components - the Heart Catheterization Laboratories and the Chest Pain Center.

The Chest Pain Center was constructed in renovated space and contains 7 private observation and stabilization rooms around a large telemetry monitoring work station. The rooms were designed to have a non-institutional, home-like feel to induce a calming effect on the patients.

The Cath procedure area contains four cath labs with equipment control rooms, a four bed preparatory zone and an adjacent six bed patient recovery area. A family waiting area, consultation rooms, digital patient information viewing rooms, and a student conference room for Texas Tech University’s medical school is included. Staff areas include dressing rooms, lounge and administrative offices for management and medical record keeping functions.
