Scottsdale Hospital Gets $28M Trauma Center

SCOTTSDALE, AZ-A $28-million hospital trauma center, designed around the “Golden Hour” concept of lifesaving, is opening a new era of emergency care at Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn.

The 55,000-sf Scottsdale Healthcare Osborn Emergency Department and Trauma Center, designed by Stichler Design Group of Phoenix and constructed by McCarthy Building Cos.’ Southwest Division, is planned around the concept that emergency care needs to be at its best in the hour following an accident when a patient has the greatest chance of successful treatment. Four times as large as the hospital’s existing emergency department, the facility will draw on the successful concepts developed at other US trauma centers and meld those ideas with cutting-edge technology, says Jim Lauer, project manager for McCarthy.
