A modular in-wall medical services unit for installation in the wall of a structure having a first room defined in part by a wall having a wall space covered by wallboard, the unit comprising:

• a frame adapted to be installed in the wall space of the structure, the frame having a first side for the first room;
• a first mounting flange on the frame adapted to be connected to the edge of wallboard in the first room;
• a first cover panel supported on the first side of the frame;
• a first trim flange on the cover panel generally parallel to the first mounting flange on the frame, wherein the first trim flange is positioned forwardly of the first mounting flange a distance sufficient to receive wall board therebetween during installation of the unit;
• a first medical service outlet supported on the first side of the frame to be accessible in the first room through the first cover panel;
• wherein the first trim flange is movable horizontally relative to the first mounting flange during installation of the wall board between a first position and a second position, wherein in the first position the first trim flange is spaced a distance forward of the wallboard between the first mounting flange and the first trim flange, and wherein in the second position the first trim flange engages the wallboard.

A modular in-wall medical services unit for installation in the wall of a structure having a first room with a floor and a ceiling level and a wall at least partially defining the first room, the wall comprising a wall space and wallboard forming the wall's exterior surface, the unit comprising:

• a frame having a first side, the frame being adapted to be installed in the wall space of the structure;
• a vertically-oriented cover panel supported by the frame, the cover panel having a height and a width, the height being greater than the width, and wherein the cover panel comprises a pair of vertically-oriented side edges;
• a first medical service outlet supported on the frame and accessible through the cover panel on the first side of the frame from within the first room;
• and
• a trim flange along at least a portion of at least one of the vertically-oriented side edges of the cover panel and adapted to join the side edge of the cover panel to the wall board, wherein the trim flange defines a vertically-oriented equipment mounting track therein;
• and
• wherein the cover panel is positioned on the frame so that when the frame is installed in the wall space, the first service outlet and the equipment mounting track are positioned to be used conveniently by a human operator standing in the first room.
