Saint Francis Hospital Renovation and New Bed Tower

LEO A DALY was selected to design an addition/renovation project at the Saint Francis Health System hospital in Muskogee, Oklahoma. The project includes a 150-bed consolidation project and main entry in a new tower, a chapel, clinic and renovations to the campus.

The client’s goals are improving community health and knowledge of health and wellness, increasing healthcare access, and caring for the whole person, mind, body and spirit. The design is inspired by the region and Saint Francis Health System’s commitment to the community, as well as a heavy emphasis on innovation and Catholic heritage.

For the Saint Francis Hospital project, specific design strategies address increasing facility visibility, improving the entry access and sequence, adaptive reuse of interior spaces that are vacant or will become vacant, creating an expanded and more efficient Emergency Department and achieving bed consolidation in a modern, efficient, and customer-focused tower addition.

Overall, Saint Francis Hospital and New Bed Tower will focus on customer experience and modernization of the facility in keeping with the high quality of care that the health system delivers across northeastern Oklahoma.
