M Health Fairview hospital to open dozens of private rooms

Southdale Hospital in Edina, Minn., part of Minneapolis-based M Health Fairview, has added 52 single occupancy rooms that will open to patients Oct. 4. 

The rooms, meant to offer patients more privacy, are designed to be easily reconfigured to serve both intermediate and intensive care patients. The space will be available for patients receiving orthopedic or spine-related care at the hospital. 

Adding more single-occupancy rooms will also enhance infection prevention practices, M Health Fairview said. 

The two-story expansion adds about 38,000 feet of space to the hospital and is part of a larger transformation process to improve the patient experience across the health system.
