PPH HIRES COSTCO DESIGNER
In yet another signal that the visionary “hospital of the future” is too expensive for today's budget, Palomar Pomerado Health district has retained Costco's interior designer to furnish the rooms of the nearly billion-dollar hospital.
After having dropped an outdoor healing garden, meditation room and a $3 million “media wall,” the district's board voted to save more money by adopting a wall-less warehouse design concept.
“It may not be what we promised, but we're planning to sell Hebrew National hot dogs out front,” said Michael Covert, the health district's president and CEO.
