If
you or a loved one needed medical care,
what would make your hospital stay easier
or more convenient?
That’s the very question we asked health
care professionals and community members
when designing the new patient care Tower
Two at Methodist Mansfield Medical
Center, scheduled to open in winter 2015.
Here are some of the comfort- and
technology-focused amenities that you
can expect to see in the new, spacious
patient rooms:
w
40-inch flat-screen high-definition
televisions with dozens of channels,
movies, and on-demand patient
education. Each TV has two remote-
control handsets, one for the patient
and one for the family area, allowing
for independently operated speaker and
volume controls.

enhanced by oversized windows
that allow in natural light to
promote healing.

patient’s bed, with a tiled walk-in or
wheel-in spacious shower and adjustable
shower-head wand and handrails for
optimal movement and safety.

Speaker pillows and USB charging
stations for mobile devices.
w
An intuitive touch-screen pad for

A heated massage chair for the patient’s
stress relief and a couch that converts

the night.

A direct nurse call system, allowing
patients to reach out to their assigned
nurses as needed.

in clear view of the patient and
family members so they can observe

their hands.

valuables with user-friendly illuminated
keypads for easy operation.
The amenities extend outside the
patient rooms, as well:

monitors that allow caregivers to show
patients images such as X-rays and
MRI scans.
