Filmed at St. Mary's Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri. St. Mary's was closed in 1988 and used as a storage facility for Trinity Lutheran Hospital, and was not occupied at the time the movie was filmed. Trinity Lutheran Hospital suffered the same fate in 2001. St. Mary's was razed in 2002. The site of the Hospital was 1/2 mile south of the Hallmark Cards World Headquarters. It was also just south of The Liberty Memorial a WWI museum and memorial. It can be seen in the movie as a tall tower.
