6 HEALTH COMPASS EARLY SPRING 2024 CMH caregivers, leaders and community members have been involved with the BuildCMH Expansion Project since the beginning. In 2023, much of this collaboration was focused on the project’s design development phase. During this phase, the architecture and design team worked with CMH departments and community members to finalize project plans, select construction materials, and choose a final interior and exterior design for the hospital. Some of those involved in the design development phase shared what their experience was like: Heather Moss, Patient Family Advisory Council member “It has been exciting to go from seeing floor plans to being able to walk through mock-ups of future rooms. We have had opportunities to give feedback about themes and materials, as well as sharing our unique ideas and viewpoints about the expansion from a patient perspective. I am proud to be able to collaborate with others and to give input on something that is going to have such a big impact.” Bev Selga, Surgical Services director “To be able to design a space that will bring state-of-the-art health care options while keeping our Planetree model in the forefront of the decisions that are being made is so important. Having a member from each of my teams in Surgical Services on the design team has been invaluable as well — they have input on how their workflow will impact patient and caregiver experience.” CMH caregivers and community members share project Jen Scott-Culp, Telemetry technician “I enjoyed being part of the design development team. I’m happy to work where input from caregivers is both welcome and valued. I look forward to seeing and working in the new space once it is complete.”
