St. Bernard Hospital's new ambulatory care center highlights good being done on Chicago's troubled South Side, according to an article on the Hospitals and Health Networks website.
Among the facility's educational resources is a library that houses a wall of computers for residents to look up health-related questions.
An occupational therapy room five times larger than the previous area is equipped with a stage bedroom and bathroom to teach patients how to transition from the hospital to their own home.
The center also has a community forum room that seats 90 people and overlooks the neighborhood.
