permits unobstructed views, while two wooden
benches anchored to the floor each seat three

says, the balconies are equipped with cameras
that provide a constant live video feed to the
nurses' stations.

views-are in keeping with the hospital's mission to help female patients heal in mind, body,
and spirit.
