Penrose Saint Francis Hospital Statue – Stetson Hills

The Penrose St. Francis Hospital and medical complex is coming closer and closer to completion. It is located on the SE corner of Woodmen Road and Powers Blvd., just west of Tutt – in the northernmost part of the Stetson Hills neighborhood.
Penrose St. Francis Hospital Address: 6001 E. Woodmen Road, Colorado Springs CO 80923

Today, I was driving to Black Forest from Greenhaven, and decided to take Templeton Gap from Dublin to Woodmen. In the past, the street wound around and dumped out onto E. Woodmen Rd. at Black Forest Road.
This time was different. The whole street was realigned and incorporated a couple roundabouts and the layout to accommodate the further expansion of the medical complexes surrounding the new Penrose St. Francis Hospital.
The coolest part of the new construction was the ENORMOUS new statue of St. Francis to the east of the hospital – at the entrance of the building. The Catholic Herald reports:
“A 21-foot steel statue of St. Francis of Assisi that stands at the east entrance to the hospital was designed by artist Dale Lamphere of South Dakota and donated by the Sisters of St. Francis of Perpetual Adoration.”

If you ever get the opportunity to visit the new Penrose St. Francis Hospital (hopefully NOT because you have H1N1) … make sure you check out the new statue!
