Haynes Group Chosen for New Pharmacy Development at Morton Hospital

In a strategic move to enhance healthcare facilities, Haynes Group, a renowned construction management firm, has been appointed to create a new retail pharmacy at Morton Hospital in Taunton, Massachusetts. This initiative, undertaken for Brown University Health, aims to streamline prescription services, making it more convenient for patients accessing healthcare services within the hospital premises.

The construction of this pharmacy is not merely a standard building project; it embodies a significant planning and coordination effort due to the demands of a healthcare environment. The complexity is heightened by the pertinent need to maintain hospital operations during ongoing construction activities. Haynes Group assures that throughout the construction, Morton Hospital will remain fully operational, prioritizing patient safety and service continuity.

To achieve this, Haynes is collaborating closely with various hospital personnel to meticulously align construction activities with infection control mandates and life safety protocols. The design incorporates strategic isolation of work areas, and the planning ensures that disruptive work is conducted during off-hours, minimizing disturbances to patients, visitors, and hospital staff. This approach reflects a commitment to maintaining the quality of patient care while advancing construction progress.

At the heart of the project is the philosophy that patient welfare comes first, echoing Haynes Channel Lead Paul Bedard's sentiment: “Building inside an active hospital means the patient comes first, every shift.” Bedard emphasized the importance of planning each stage with meticulous detail in collaboration with Morton Hospital's facilities team. This project signifies a partnership not just with a healthcare institution but with the communities they serve, further enhancing the overall patient experience.

The new pharmacy will feature a dedicated entrance for patients, enhancing accessibility. Patients will enjoy benefits such as streamlined prescription pickup and drop-off services, designed to create a seamless experience without necessitating separate trips outside the hospital. Custom casework will further enrich the space, providing a modern and welcoming environment that prioritizes patient needs.

The architectural design is under the expertise of NEMD Architects, based in Providence. Their vision, combined with Haynes' construction management expertise, is set to result in a facility that integrates seamlessly with the hospital's existing infrastructure and services, promising a robust backend system that efficiently supports patient care.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Haynes Group has marked its place in the commercial construction industry as a standout firm that combines expert project management with exceptional client service. Headquartered in West Bridgewater, Massachusetts, with further offices in Rhode Island and Florida, Haynes was founded by brothers Mike and Bryan Haynes in 2001. Their approach has consistently set new benchmarks in construction management.

As the project unfolds, stakeholders will be eager to observe the transformative impact of the new pharmacy at Morton Hospital, fulfilling a critical need for integrated healthcare services on-site, and enhancing overall patient satisfaction. This endeavor not only supports hospital efficiencies but also reflects Haynes Group’s commitment to contributing positively to the community's health infrastructure.
