Anderson Hospital in Maryville (Ill.) is promoting a $7 million capital campaign to build 21 new private patient rooms out of a space that used to house physician offices, the Belleville News-Democrat reports.
Lynn Huelsmann, executive director of the Anderson Hospital Foundation, told the Belleville News-Democrat that construction has already begun on the private rooms, which were designed to include more space for both the staff and patients' visitors. Features of the room include Wi-Fi access, convertible couches that flip into beds and additional storage options for the patient and their guests.
Lauren Mullikin, a former patient of Anderson Hospital in Maryville, has committed to help raise funds for the facility's construction project. To learn more about her experience, watch the video below.
