Aurora St. Luke’s Medical Center – Heart Hospital

Kahler Slater addressed these objectives by focusing on creating a seamless patient and staff experience. By centralizing cardiac services including medical, surgical, diagnostic and prevention/education programs into adjacent spaces and integrating the most advanced technologies into operating rooms, labs and intensive care units, a very safe patient environment and highly efficient physician and staff flow is achieved. Special attention was paid toward spaces for family members who often wait for many hours during surgeries. The design of these areas offers a comforting environment and a sense of privacy so families can take care of themselves as they prepare to take care of their loved ones.

Built atop an existing parking lot, the heart center tower consists of 12 floors with 270 beds and provides unparalleled patient care. The bed tower’s design is a commanding presence and offers a healing garden, ample family spaces and patient rooms with windows affording generous daylight and views of Lake Michigan.

The Aurora St. Luke’s Heart Hospital in among the most sophisticated in the Midwest and provides experiences for patients and providers alike that make it a true cardiac center of excellence.
