The lobby of the PeaceHealth Professional Building of
St. John Medical Center reflects the mission and spiritual values of
PeaceHealth. On the north face of the building, a 24-foot stained glass
cross sets an ambience of healing. Designed by award-winning architectural
artist Arthur Stern, the window was recently honored with a Millennium
Design Award from Faith & Form Magazine and The Interfaith Forum on
Religion, Art & Architecture -- The A.I.A Religious Art and Architecture
Design Awards.
Centered in the lobby, one encounters the Cross of the
Millennium, one of only six in existence, designed by world-renowned
sculptor Frederick Hart (1943-1999). In the wooden niches, directly to the
west of the “Cross”, are five original calligraphic pieces in gold
leaf. The scriptures selected reflect the healing ministry of Jesus
Christ. Artwork throughout the medical center continues the theme of
comfort and peace.
