Human-Centered Healthcare Furniture
Looking west from Jefferson Ave, the surgical suite at Mercy Health Saint Mary’s downtown campus fills to the brim with bright afternoon light. With the busy city center just outside its doors, the lounge features human-centered healthcare furniture for surgical patients, families, and staff.
Nearby, doctors and patients can meet in consult rooms to discuss needs, findings, and next steps (not pictured). Also nearby are doctors’ respite rooms (not pictured), featuring heated massage chairs and a table lamp for ambient lighting. The human-centered respite rooms encourage much-needed quiet and rest for surgeons.
Staff can find respite in the employee lounge, where dining tables and lounge chairs offer the choice of where to rest. Warm hues and woodwork offer strength and solace during long surgery shifts, and the floor-to-ceiling windows give access to energizing sunlight.
