Growing to Meet a Need
(Published 01-07-2005, Philadelphia Business Journal) After spending the past decade getting smaller, a growing number of hospitals in the Philadelphia-area are spending millions on expansion and renovation projects to add beds. The article highlights the experience of the Methodist Hospital Division of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. James E. Robinson, Methodist Hospital chief administrative officer, says that Methodist's bed count will hit 203--up from 150--when a new 24-bed medical/surgical unit opens next month.
"We've seen a major increase in our volume. It's been beyond our expectations," Mr. Robinson says.
