Hospital and clinic join for better patient care

Hospital and clinic join for better patient care


October 13, 2010

The opening of the Owatonna (Minn.) Hospital completes the second phase of work at the 20-acre Owatonna Healthcare Campus. Designed by HGA Architects and Engineers, the two-story hospital, owned by Allina Hospitals and Clinics, connects to a newly expanded clinic owned by Mayo Health System to create a single facility for inpatient and outpatient care. The complex, which has private patient rooms, daylit family waiting areas, and patios with garden views, includes a pharmacy, sleep lab, emergency room, operating rooms, and birthing center. In addition to the clinical spaces, the hospital features a Wellness Walk (the hospital’s main corridor, which also aids wayfinding and serves as a source of natural light), a café, a coffee shop, and classrooms. Next project in the master plan: a nursing home.
