Press release - Published on 18.8.2026, 14:19 # New ward building strengthens services at Jorvi Hospital Keywords: - [Jorvi Hospital](< /en/search?q=Jorvi Hospital >) Jorvi's new ward building will open in phases beginning in late August 2026 Services that will operate in the building include childbirth services, inpatient services for adults and pediatric specialized healthcare, imaging services, and hospital support services.  Jorvi's new ward building The Jorvi hospital campus is HUS's second largest hospital area after Meilahti. Jorvi Hospital has one of the busiest emergency departments in Finland and the second largest labor unit in Finland. The hospital also provides surgical services in several specialties. “Jorvi hospital campus plays a central role in HUS's service network. It brings together specialized healthcare services, emergency and childbirth services, and primary healthcare services. The new ward building will further strengthen Jorvi's role and improve our services well into the future,” says Director of Medical Services, **Mika Laine.** Units will move to the ward building from Jorvi Hospital's current ward towers, separate buildings on the campus, the Vega House, and the nearby Espoo Hospital. More than 600 professionals will work regularly in the new ward building. ## Patient-centered facilities enhance treatment and streamline work The ward building has six inpatient wards for adults and two pediatric wards. Patient rooms are mainly single rooms. The building will also include day units and outpatient services. The new facilities with a patient-centered focus will support high-quality and effective treatment. The labor unit will have twelve delivery rooms and three operating rooms for C-sections. Nearly all patient rooms were designed as family rooms. The new facilities will better support Couplet Care, allowing parents and babies to remain together even when the baby needs care at a neonatal ward. Imaging services will also be available in the new building. Patients can access laboratory sample collection directly from the main lobby. The ward building also has facilities for medical technology, bed maintenance, a cleaning center, and a centralized assistive device service. “The staff will have new, functional, and modern workspaces that support streamlined workflow. The facilities and changes to operations have been planned together with the personnel,” says Architect **Tuija Ylä-Rautio**. Access to the ward building is through the new main entrance to Jorvi Hospital, [opened in April](https://www.hus.fi/en/newsroom/jorvi-hospitals-new-main-entrance-opens-april-20-2026). ## Art supports health At HUS, the treatment environment is enriched with art to promote health and to empower patients. Art also supports the staff's overall wellbeing. For the new ward building, art was commissioned both as single pieces and extensive illustrations. Pieces from HUS's current art collection have also been selected for display in the building. Art can be found on every floor and in every unit. A children's playground will be opened in the hospital yard when the hospital opens its doors to patients. The playground is open to all: patients, visitors, children of the adjacent school and day care, and the public in general. It offers families a cozy place to be active outdoors. ## Jorvi in numbers - Five floors of newly built facilities in a five-pointed building - 367 patient beds on wards - More than 600 HUS professionals work in the ward building regularly - Eight years of planning and preparations before the building opens - Three years of construction work in the middle of a busy hospital campus - EUR 259 million construction project - 50,320 total square meters in the new building *Further information: HUS Media Service, tel. 050 427 2875, e-mail* [*viestinta@hus.fi*](mailto:viestinta@hus.fi)*.* *Open Mon–Thu 10:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., Fri 10:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m.* Share the news - [ Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) ](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.hus.fi/en/newsroom/new-ward-building-strengthens-services-jorvi-hospital) - [ Share on Linkedin (opens in a new window) ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https://www.hus.fi/en/newsroom/new-ward-building-strengthens-services-jorvi-hospital) Print this page
