July 15, 2010 (Edina) - To help orthopedic patients receive a full range of care under one roof, Twin Cities Orthopedics today is opening a new state-of-the-art orthopedic medical facility in Edina, Minn.
Sharing the space will be surgeons, physical therapists and other orthopedic specialists. This means patients and their family members will enjoy a one-stop-shop for the treatment of broken bones, athletic injuries and other skeletal/muscular problems.
The new building incorporates two major design concepts. The first is patient-friendly: The facility features four “pods” that include their own waiting area, exam room, X-ray station and cast room. This layout allows more coordinated care among the three doctors in each pod and offers a more streamlined experience for the patient.
The second design element is eco-friendly: The building includes sustainable features, such as a green roof, high-efficiency heating and cooling systems, rainwater harvesting for irrigation, high-efficiency lighting, low-flow plumbing and more. Twin Cities Orthopedics is seeking federal LEED certification for the building because of its many “green” features.
“A team of talented people made this building possible,” said Dr. David Holte, president of Twin Cities Orthopedics. “Our physicians and administrators collaborated with the architects to allow patients to get the care they need at one location, without going from building to building.”
The office will also house a sports medicine clinic, same-day surgery center, MRI, and special therapy services for hand, neck and back conditions. Starting in August, the clinic will offer extended hours until 9 p.m. on business days and will be open Saturdays for patients with acute-emergency injuries.
