Olympus Central Hospital (OCH) is the largest, most advanced medical facility on Oikos — the place where the hardest problems and the worst nights end up. Designed as a city within a city, OCH delivers round-the-clock care for acute trauma, complex disease, and mass-casualty response, drawing specialists from every medical discipline. Its iconic white façades and viridion-green holodisplays make it a beacon in the capital’s skyline, while its 50-craft supersonic ambulance fleet slashes response times across the region.
Technology & Protocols
- Command Grid: A hospital operations center that fuses bed status, fleet telemetry, and regional incident data.
- Triage Intelligence: Decision-support systems that pre-assign ORs, ICU beds, and consult teams while a patient is en route.
- Sterile Power Buffers: Independent energy loops for ORs and ICUs to guarantee uninterrupted care during citywide events.
- Open Science Decks: In-house research teams embed with clinical services to translate breakthroughs into bedside practice fast.
Staff & Culture
OCH runs on paired teams: clinicians and ops specialists who train together for speed under pressure. The atmosphere is focused but humane — white coats in the halls, viridion-green glow at the bedsides, and a quiet pride in doing the hardest things well.
Patient Experience
- One-Touch Intake: Bio-token registration and guided holos for paperwork-free admission.
- Family Spaces: Neutral, calm lounges with real-time dashboards showing patient progress milestones.
- Continuity Clinics: Post-discharge navigation that hands patients back to local providers without gaps.
Notable Units
- Aegis Ward: Biocontainment unit that “wakes up” the moment an ambulance declares a hot-zone patient.
- Helios Terrace: The primary landing platform — where a supersonic glide-in can be watched from the trauma glass.
- The White Archive: A vaulted repository of anonymized cases used for training and live decision rehearsal.
Architecture
- Exterior: Clean white superstructure with viridion-green window facade; broad landing terraces integrated with tower-top VTOL lanes.
- Interior: Hygienic white corridors, soft daylighting, and calming biophilic inserts; patient wayfinding via green holo-totems and floor-edge light rails.
- Fast Paths: Color-coded “Green Line” corridors run directly from landing pads to trauma theaters to minimize seconds lost in transit.
Core Facilities
- Atlas Emergency Complex (Level I Trauma): 24 bays, 6 hybrid trauma ORs with on-table imaging; negative-pressure isolation pods.
- Cardio-Neuro Institute: Advanced cath labs, stroke biplane suites, neuro-ICU, and awake-mapping theaters.
- Oncology & Cellular Therapy Center: Particle therapy vaults, genomic tumor boards, and clean rooms for CAR-T / tailored cell infusions.
- Neonatal & Maternal Futures: NICU with artificial-womb adjuncts for extreme prematurity; high-risk obstetrics and fetal surgery.
- Regeneration & Bionics Lab: Tissue scaffolding, osteo-printing, and myo-interface prosthetics with live gait analysis.
- Infectious Hazards Pavilion: Modular biocontainment wards, independent air and waste loops, in-house pathogen sequencing.
- Behavioral Health & Stabilization: De-escalation suites, neurochemical modulation bays, and continuum-of-care counseling.
- Rehabilitation Arcades: Micro-g treadmills, immersive holo-environments, and exo-assist rigs for rapid functional recovery.
- Community Medicine Hub: Preventive clinics, vaccination drives, and tele-health outreach for remote districts.
Supersonic Ambulance Wing
- Fleet Size: 50 VTOL supersonic ambulances (mix of med-transport and physician-rapid-response variants).
- Roles:
- Physician Deploy: Fly teams (trauma, neonatology, cardiac) to the scene or smaller clinics.
- Critical Lift: Stabilize and move patients directly to dedicated Green Line bays.
- Onboard Suite: Point-of-care labs, portable imaging, blood products, and telepresence links to OCH command.
