St. Joseph Hi-Tech hospital...of course it has wireless Internet access, but the one amazing feature that I had not heard of before is the window seats that convert to beds...where family members can catch a few winks..very novel and great idea to make it more comfortable for the family members when visiting...and 90% of the rooms are private..BD

ORANGE Robert Lawrence Balzer lays on a gurney at St. Joseph Hospital with two critical items sitting resting next to him: a portable heart monitor and a black bag stuffed with emergency medication. Five more minutes, his nurse, Anne Hainley says to the team of nurses and attendants crowding the hospital room.  The old hospital building will remain open, and a new healing garden and lobby will be open to visitors to both buildings. 

About 90 percent of the new rooms are private with flat-screen TVs, wireless Internet access and window seats that convert to beds where family members can sleep.

St. Joseph won't be the only hospital moving its patients in coming years. Hospital building is booming in Orange County as facilities rush to meet the 2008 deadline for the first round of state-mandated earthquake retrofitting requirements. St. Jude Medical Center and UCI Medical Center are among at least seven area hospitals with ongoing construction.

At least seven other Orange County hospitals are undergoing construction projects.
