Our Healthcare team has learned the unique challenges faced by rural communities as they strive to provide high-quality medical care away from the convenience of larger cities. In this project, we considered USDA funding, geographical accessibility, and the diverse needs of a widespread population to replaced an outdated 1950s hospital.
Located in Kiowa, Kansas, this 28,000-square-foot rural hospital includes private patient rooms, an imaging suite, a centralized nurse station, an operating room suite, a special procedure room, a two-bay trauma emergency department, a central laboratory, and eight exam rooms. We also developed a master plan to allow for future expansion.

As the cornerstone of a new medical park, this hospital not only needed to be beautiful, it needed to be completed quickly. Using fast-tracked, phased construction, the facility was completed, from design to occupancy, in 10 months.
In this conversion, patient safety was our top design priority and became especially important when considering the existence of large amounts of glass in the existing building. Our design called for the replacement of all inpatient room windows with laminated glass windows and application of 3M safety film on other exterior windows to mitigate this risk.
