Senior Vice President, Strategic Planning & Facilities
“In response to Maryland Governor Larry Hogan’s call in mid-March to increase hospital bed capacity statewide to address the COVID-19 public health emergency, Mercy Medical center was the first hospital in the state to seek and receive CON approval from the Maryland Health Care Commission to contract an entirely new hospital unit. As you know, construction began swiftly on March 23 with an aggressive opening deadline of June 1 and construction as completed on May 20 in a record time of 59 days. That fact that you, together with Whiting-Turner were able to complete this important project in record time to enable Mercy to provide expanded, specialized care to patients suffering from COVID-19 was nothing short of amazing! Having you as partners coming to work every day in the midst of this pandemic event to build this 32-bed unit as fast as you could has been inspiring. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for your remarkable work and steadfast commitment to the highest standards for quality and safety throughout the process.”
