As part of its planning process, St. Peter’s built a mock patient room to give employees and the community an opportunity to provide input the rooms’ design before the new patient wing was built. The room was redesigned three times with the valuable input to ensure that the rooms will meet the needs of several generations of Helena-area residents. The room was built to actual size and includes the furniture and equipment that will be in the wing.
