Prexus Health is a physician-owned facility that strives to combine skilled, professional staff with state-of-the-art medical technology to deliver efficient services. In keeping with this mission, Prexus Health’s second facility in the state of Texas, Basin Healthcare Center, successfully integrates technology and efficiency.
The 42,000-sf acute long-term care hospital located in Odessa, Texas, houses 14 patient rooms, an emergency department, a gastroenterology treatment room, and four operating rooms for various surgical procedures. The center also houses imaging and radiology wings for x-rays, CT Scans, and MRIs, a phlebotomy area with an in-house blood works lab, and a pharmacy.
Before construction began, unforeseen project funding issues threatened to delay the process. FJW identified critical items to allow the project to begin without full funding, and the owner approved the recommendation. The funding issues were resolved four months later, but the project did not suffer a delay due to the FJW team’s proactive actions.
Neil S. Schwartz, Prexus Health's director of planning and development, stated "FJW Construction personnel were extremely professional throughout the entire building process, not only having the experience but foresight as well to see problems and issues before they occurred, which allowed FJW to maintain the construction schedule and costs. FJW not only met but exceeded Prexus' expectation for this project."
