 INTRODUCING THE NEW

 St. Peter Community Hospital

-Opened August 9, 2004

 BELIEVE IT OR NOT

 The road to building the new St. Peter Community Hospital has taken just under five years to complete. In 1999, the Hospital began looking toward executing a new expansion and renovation at the current facility or building a brand new facility on a completely new site. The movement toward either option had to reflect the high quality of health care already provided at St. Peter while creat­ing opportunity for future services. The hospital hired Yanik Companies as its project manager to assist and guide it through the entire development, finance, design and construction process.
 After an extensive study based on objective data of both options, the Hospital Board concluded a new facility would best meet the health care needs of St. Peter and the surrounding communities. A land search began and, shortly thereafter, design and space programming for a new facility was initiated.
 In 2001 and 2002, the site selection was finalized and building programming and design was complete. The new site is large enough to accommodate several hospital expansions. A campus master plan was established to include a new medical clinic facility and a senior community component on the site, providing for a full continuum of senior care. The master plan permits all future expansions to be directly connected to the new hospital, connecting the senior housing at the north and the clinic facility to the west.
 Construction on the new community hospital began in 2003. The size of the hospital is 62,000 square feet. A welcoming community conference room and the large physical therapy department were designed directly to the left and right of the entrance for ease of patient access and safety. Also located at the front entrance are the hospital pharmacy and guest services.



UNIQUE FEATURES
 The new hospital has a total of 17 patient rooms. There are 10 private patient rooms, two special care rooms, one isolation room, one hospice room and three LDRP rooms. All 17 rooms are designed to actively promote healing through the introduction of the Wellness room concept. The Minnesota Department of Health worked closely with hospital management and the design team to incor­porate, for the first time ever in a Minnesota hospital, the Wellness room concept of care. The new hospital features two surgery suites. A uniquely designed inner center courtyard is situated between the two large surgery suites and several in-patient rooms, allowing natural light into the rooms and an area for patients and families to enjoy. A large skylight has been designed at the main entrance corridor and is considered the main intersection con­nection to the future medical clinic and senior living community.
 The new imaging department will make use of a new CT machine and two radiology rooms. The lab for the hospital  is located directly adjacent to the imaging area. An outside docking area has been designed to accommodate a mobile MRI transport.

YANIK COMPANIES :AS PROJECT MANAGER
Yanik Companies assisted the hospital in several areas. Yanik provided assistance in selection of the design team, space programming, land research, financial consultation project management and construction management service; during the various stages of the project.
 
I have never worked with a group that had such a "can-do"attitude. Thank you for not getting tired of us and for hanging in there as we continue to explore options for the nursing home and clinic. This group has my deepest regard and respect." - Colleen Spike, Chief Executive Officer, St. Peter Community Hospital
 

INVOLVEMENT OF THE COMMUNITY
It was important to reflect and involve the St. Peter community within the design and construction of the new hospital. Yanik Companies is very proud that 75 percent of the building trades that constructed the hospital were from St. Peter and the surrounding community. The exterior of the building is a native Kasota stone produced directly from a quarry in St. Peter. The citizens of St. Peter unanimously supported and approved general obligation bonds covering the full amount of the new hospital project.

 

 

  

WELLNESS ROOMS Created to actively promote healing, the Wellness Room provides a comfortable, relaxing environment for patients and families. It is designed to make performance of beside tasks easier for both staff and patients. The Wellness Rooms at St. Peter include designs for acute care, hospice care, labor and delivery, and special care. The rooms themselves are cus­tom-designed and manufactured to promote healing and patient safety, with custom furniture, lighted artwork on the walls and ceiling and patient control features such as the ability to turn reading lights on or off at the bedside. Molded bathroom components are rounded for patient safety as are all corners within the room. This design promotes ease of maintenance and maneuverability of medical equipment. Every Wellness Room features an in-room nurses' station and access to computerized patient information.

"St. Peter will be the first hospital in Minnesota with Wellness Rooms, Colleen Spike, Hospital CEO, said. "As soon as we experienced the Wellness Room, we felt a healing sense of serenity. These rooms are truly unique. When a patient walks into a Wellness Room, he will be impressed. This is definitely not a typical hospital room."
