Dupont NICU featured in National Presentation
Aug 08
Karra Heggen, CNO at Dupont Hospital, along with Ron Menze and Jerry Nix, partners at Morrison Kattman Menze architectural firm are featured speakers at the 2008 Healthcare Facilities Symposium and Expo on September 11 in Chicago, Illinois. Their presentation titled, “Infant versus Parent”—Exploring the Paradigm of the NICU Single Room Design, explores the challenges single room neonatal intensive care units faced by owners and architects. The presentation will also reveal evidence-based design research methods of single room versus suite style design success, along with discussing staff concerns and the methods to resolve and address those issues prior to the new area occupation and immediately following. The presentation is based on the design and lessons learned in the new Dupont Hospital NICU completed by MKM earlier this year.
