Dignity Health, St. John’s Regional Medical Center – Emergency Department & NICU

The Stahl Companies provides Transition Planning and Equipment Logistics services for multiple projects at St. John’s Regional Medical Center (SJRMC) in Oxnard, California. A series of Transition Team meetings were established and Debby Matheny worked with all departments on licensing and occupancy preparation tasks. We are working closely with Bea Hensleit, licensing specialist, to ensure guidelines are followed and staff has adequate preparation support at a time when regulatory agencies are struggling to meet the demand.

Emergency Department Expansion and Renovation

One of these projects is a new emergency department expansion to the main hospital, which is partially complete. The ED leadership changed mid-stream and the support our team provided to the department representatives and all support department representatives helped to keep occupancy preparation tasks moving forward. Due to various issues, construction dates have been fluid and multiple revisions to the Transition Schedule have been required. Our team has continued to coordinate construction, IT, and vendor information to provide Transition updates on a monthly basis. The ED was successfully licensed and transitioned into their new Phase 1 space in July 2020. Phase 2 of the ED project has begun, which is the renovation of the existing ED space requiring temporary operational measures and removal/storage of equipment in the construction footprint.
