New California hospital harnesses Seabiscuit connection

Adventist Health replaces outdated facility with larger, modern Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital


The new $64 million Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital in Willits, Calif., — named for the son of the owner of horse-racing legend Seabiscuit — replaced an outdated facility built in 1927, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.

Statues of Seabiscuit and its owner Charles Howard at the facility's reflect the hospital's history.

The new 74,100-square-foot, two-story hospital includes 25 private inpatient rooms and incorporates the latest technology in healthcare design. It also features a community garden, a farm-to-fork organic restaurant and a helipad.

The facility also features skylights illuminated with LED images that can be configured with cloud formations, blue skies, wildlife, trees and other images of the four seasons in various spaces throughout the hospital.
