Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare has selected the team of Clemons, Rutherford & Associates (CRA) and FreemanWhite, Inc. to design the previously announced freestanding Emergency Center inside the Metropolitan Executive Center on Thomasville Road and I-10.
Clemons, Rutherford & Associates is a local Tallahassee firm that specializes in healthcare and educational facilities. CRA will be teaming with FreemanWhite, Inc., an emergency department design consulting firm that has completed over 200 emergency centers in the U.S. and is considered the national leader in ED design. FreemanWhite will lead the planning effort under the direction of Jon Huddy, Managing Principal, who authored the book Emergency Department Design: A Practical Guide to Planning for the Future published by the American College of Emergency Physicians.
Clemons, Rutherford & Associates will be the lead Architect and will utilize local engineering services to deliver their respective disciplines. “The teaming of FreemanWhite, CRA and local engineering consultants combines national emergency center design experience with local, responsive, high-quality service in pursuit of developing a truly outstanding emergency care facility for our patients and their families,” said Jason Moore, Vice President/Chief Operating Officer, Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, the lead executive in charge of construction.
The Tallahassee Memorial Emergency Center-Northeast will be equipped to handle most emergency situations and built with special consideration for both pediatric patients, geriatric patients and their families.
This new facility will be designed with the community in mind, conveniently located with ample parking and featuring state-of-the-art, concierge emergency medicine with a separate pediatric entrance and waiting area and emergency areas tailored to meet the needs of senior patients. In collaboration with CRA and FreemanWhite, Inc., Tallahassee Memorial will be focused on creating an emergency center with a healing environment scientifically designed to reduce anxiety and improve comfort for all patients, while providing truly outstanding emergency care.
Throughout the course of this project, we will use several forms of communication to relay information to our community. On our official website dedicated to this project, http://tmhnewer.blogspot.com, we will continue to provide the latest news on the progress of Tallahassee Memorial Emergency Center - Northeast. The webpage will have a live video stream of the construction site, as well as a blog and other interactive communication links.
