Scripps Health recently opened the John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion, a state-of-the-art $130 million outpatient clinic featuring 17 medical and surgical specialties including cardiology, neurology, diabetes and endocrinology, gastroenterology, dermatology, nephrology and family medicine.
\nMedical services are being provided by Scripps Clinic Medical Group.
\nThe Scripps outpatient center and one operated by Cedar Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles are the only ones in California operating full-service outpatient catheterization laboratories outside a hospital through special state legislation approved in 2012.
\n“The medical pavilion brings together exceptional physicians, staff and technology in a one-stop-shop for comprehensive outpatient medical services,” Scripps Health president and CEO Chris Van said.
\nLocated near the main entrance to the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla campus, the seven-level, 175,000-square-foot building was constructed with the help of a $25 million donation from Eileen and John “Jack” R. Anderson IV. The clinic is named for their son.
\nPatients will have access to more than 50 physicians in an on-stage\/off-stage space configuration inspired by the Disney park design model that puts patients at the center of care activities in a comfortable environment while supporting efficient, collaborative work spaces for staff.
\nThe center includes four outpatient cardiac catheterization laboratories made possible by passage of a state law making life-saving procedures such as stent and pacemaker implants more convenient and accessible to patients by allowing them to be performed in an outpatient facility.
\nconnected by bridge to a hospital.
\nA pair of sky bridges connect the pavilion to the adjacent Prebys Cardiovascular Institute, allowing for quick movement of catheterization lab patients into the hospital in the event that more intensive care is required.
\nThe building also contains state-of-the-art imaging technology, making it a comprehensive center of excellence for a full range of scanning diagnostic services. The equipment includes a 256-slice, low-dose CT scanner; a 3 tesla MRI; a four-slice nuclear medicine scanner; two X-ray units; one X-ray\/fluoroscopy unit; and three ultrasound units.
\nThe project\u2019s design-build team included design-assist general contractor McCarthy Building Companies and architect Taylor Design.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
