Description from HGA:
Located in rural northwest Iowa, Orange City Hospital draws inspiration from its pastoral 37-acre setting. The 125,000-square-foot, two-level replacement hospital and clinic include acute care functions and outpatient clinic functions.
Interior architecture alludes to the rural setting with a curving, cultured-stone wall, wooden ceilings, metal paneling and glass expanses.
