The UNC Health – North Carolina Surgical Hospital stands as a beacon of innovation and thoughtful design, redefining the standard for patient care and operational efficiency. A collaborative effort between Page and UNC Health, this advanced facility seamlessly integrates leading-edge technology with a human-centered approach, ensuring patients and staff benefit from a smarter, more intuitive environment.

A standout feature is the “on-stage/off-stage” concept, which strategically separates clinical workspaces from patient care areas. This approach enhances privacy, reduces noise, and streamlines workflows—allowing caregivers to focus while creating a calmer healing environment. 

Another key component of the hospital, the surgical platform, maximizes efficiency with two-sided pre- and post-operative rooms. Validated through Lean planning, this innovative layout optimizes the ratio of recovery rooms per operating room to unprecedented levels—minimizing unnecessary construction costs while improving hospital operations and quality of care.
