We believe Creating Places to Belong is critically important to health. Creating a place where patients, families, and caregivers feel like they belong is about connecting to a greater purpose and supporting individual needs. By balancing hybrid environments, prioritizing flexibility, focusing on inclusion and belonging, and supporting overall health and well-being within healthcare environments, we can improve the sense of belonging for all.
At the 2023 Healthcare Design Expo we shared how we are bringing furniture solutions to health environments that provide choice, comfort, and connection to help deliver better experiences to patients, families, and caregivers.
Our Kolo Pods received the Innovation Award and Silver Nightingale Awards at the Healthcare Design Conference + Expo (HCD), based on their contribution to a healing environment, functionality, quality, durability, aesthetics, pricing, and innovation.
Trends in Healthcare
In our HCD booth we shared a broad range of applications that support emerging trends in healthcare.
Balancing Hybrid Environments
Whether facilitating a virtual care session or taking a personal video call in a waiting area, patients, families, and caregivers want to feel accommodated in their
hybrid interactions.
Prioritizing Flexibility
In today’s health environments, spaces must be responsive to the different needs of facilities to maximize efficiency and the quality of care.
Focusing on Inclusion and Belonging
Feeling connected is different for everyone - patients need to feel like their care is specific to their needs, families need to feel like they belong on the care journey with their loved ones, and caregivers need to feel a sense of belonging through places that support their work styles.
Supporting Health and Well-being
Offering areas where caregivers can relax and recharge leads to greater job satisfaction, reduced stress, and more responsive patient services. To mitigate burnout, create spaces where teamwork thrives, and overall wellness is a priority.
