St John's Episcopal Hospital, Queens nearing completion

Construction is nearing completion at St John's Episcopal Hospital in Far Rockaway, Queens. Designed by Think! for Episcopal Health Services, Inc., the new Walsh Ambulatory Pavilion relocates out-patient facilities from the main hospital building and consolidates behavioral health services in one space.

The new 4-story and cellar building contains a 7,700 sf Radiation/ Oncology Clinic (with both a linear accelerator and CT scanner), a 7,700 primary care clinic with 12 exam rooms, a 2,500 Infusion Treatment clinic with 8 infusion stations, and a 12,000 sf Behavioral Health Clinic with several large group counseling rooms and a large multi-functional space for community outreach programs and events.

A separate but equal entrance and passenger elevator is provided for the Behavioral Health clients, and an internal communicating stair is provided between the two floors that house the various Behavioral Health programs to afford flexibility and increased efficient use of program space. Six additional large conference and multi-purpose rooms are provided to support both internal program activities as well as address the need for community outreach.
