A new five-story, 95,809-square-foot building is now open on the North Oaks Medical Center campus in Hammond.
Known as North Oaks Building 3, the facility reflects a $50 million community investment in design, construction, furniture and fixture costs. It brings together multiple provider clinics and related outpatient and supporting services under one roof with the goals of enhancing patient experience, expanding access and positioning the health system for continued growth.
North Oaks Building 3 offers a range of medical clinics and services across its five floors.
On the first floor, patients will find the North Oaks Eye Care Clinic, North Oaks Optical Shop, North Oaks Prescription Center, and a blood draw lab. Amenities also include PJ’s Coffee & Tea café, which will open Tuesday, Sept. 2, complementing PJ’s existing location in the hospital’s main entrance first-floor lobby.
The second floor of Building 3 houses North Oaks Pain Management, North Oaks Neurosurgery and North Oaks Neurology.
North Oaks Urological Associates is found on the third floor.
The fourth floor is home to North Oaks Endocrinology and North Oaks ENT & Allergy.
North Oaks Hematology & Oncology and North Oaks Infusion Therapy come together with a dedicated infusion pharmacy on the fifth floor as part of the health system’s significant investment in cancer care coordination.
Building 3 also is appointed with covered walkways and drop-off areas that seamlessly connect it to adjacent Buildings 1, 2 and 4. These connections will help patients and visitors navigate between services and across campus with ease.
