Mugar building will add 60 patient rooms to Cape Cod Hospital, with more to come By Edward F. Maroney emaroney@barnstablepatriot.com PUTTING ITTOGETHER -Architect Mario Vieira, left, chats about the 120,000- square-foot Mugar building with Tom Mundell , president of the Cape Cod Healthcare Foundation,and donors Frank and Maureen Wilkins of Oyster Harbors. BUILDING CONFIDENCE - Cape Cod Healthcare CEO Steve Abbott talks to donors and the press about the special qualities of the new inpatient facility. GLOW ROOM - The moon above can't compete with Michael Magyar's glass sculpture , Spring, in the courtyard outside the dining area of the new building. FEELING BETTER? Some day, this will be the view from a patient room on the as- yet-unfinished top floor of the Mugar building. EDWARD F MARONEY PHOTOS OPENING TO THE FUTURE - Major donor David Mugar, left, prepares to join Cape Cod Healthcare CEO Steve Abbott in opening Cape Cod Hospital's new inpatient wing, named in memory of Mugar's parents. The new inpatient wing will be open for public tours Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Light refreshments , blood pressure screenings , and health care information will be offered. Parking will be available inthe Bayview lots. THANKS UNDERGLASS-Atthe Cape Cod Healthcare Foundation office inHyannis, David Mugar admires a gift recognizing his contributions to the new inpatient building. The glass globe was crafted by Michael Magyar of Sandwich. HEALING ARTISTS - Swing music makes most everybody feel better, especially when played by old pro Lou Colombo and up-and-coming drummer Kareem Sanjaghi, who's 18. They're welcoming visitors to the new building Monday. S pace, sunlight and sculptures will take their place along- side sutures and stitches as healing elements of the new inpa- tient wing at Cape Cod Hospital. "What a welcome relief," said Steve Abbott, CEO of Cape Cod Healthcare, as he greeted hundreds of visitors to the five-story build- ing on Bayview Street in Hyannis Monday. What the first new patient rooms at the hospital in 30 years will relieve is a facility that's been at capacity and beyond for years. But the relief doesn't stop there. Unlike the existing hospital's, all 60 rooms that will open on two floors of the Marian G. and Ste- phen R Mugar Building next month will be private ones. Patient privacy and serenity will be watchwords. The rooms (two additional floors above await the raising of another $17 million) are spacious enough to accommodate visitors (who can stay over on a convertible sofa/bed) and the mobile machinery that's making gurneyjaunts passe. Standing in bright sunlight in a room on the floor named for donors Ted and Helen Persson of Osterville, Abbott described an interactive communications system that will allow patients to say when they'd like to have meals and to cue up videos on procedures at their convenience. Another function will let them rate the care they're receiving, and Abbott promised that anything other than a "very satisfactory"will trigger a response within 12 hours. A striking component of the hospital's commitment to healing the whole person is the profusion of artwork in patient rooms and public spaces. With one exception, all are by Cape Codders, "People are here an average of four days if they're inpatients," Abbott said. "They can't just stare at the ceiling. This is a healing environment." Down on the ground floor, Pam Wilkins-Horowitz , president and founder of Wilkins Art Associates of Weston and Pocasset, admired Michael Magyar's glowing glass sculpture, Spring. It's one of four ir a courtyard just outside the high- ceilinged dining area. Wilkins-Horowitz said her firm has spent two years preparing a "master plan for the arts" for Cape Cod Hospital, including a retrofit- ting of its older patient rooms. Back inside the dining hall, congratulations were being offered David Mugar of Cotuit, whose $5 million matching grant Abbott called the project's "transfor- mational gift," and other major donors. Joining the Perssons in having floors named after them are Frank and Maureen Wilkins of Oyster Harbors, John and Marjorie McGraw of Osterville, and Alex- ander and Brenda Tanger of West Dennis. Paul and Lila Lorusso of Barnstable were thanked for their $2 million gift that will create the L. Paul Lorusso Conference and Edu- cational Center on the ground floor. Former Cape Cod Healthcare Foundation trustees chairman Pat Butler recalled Cape Cod Hospital founder Charles Ayling, for whom the Ayling wing was named in 1924. He said that "David Mugar is truly the Charles Ayling of our time." Hospital chaplain Rev.Marcia West summed up what all held in their hearts for the new building, that it be "the place where hope is always a possibility in all of life's circumstances."
