As you enter the hospital, you’ll immediately feel at home in the Owatonna Commons, an entrance that feels more like a living room than a traditional hospital. This roomy space allows patients and visitors easy access to high-traffic areas, such as the retail pharmacy, gift shop and admissions.
The art rendering here shows how one portion of the indoor walking path, which starts at the entrance, could look inside the new Owatonna Hospital.
