Reflecting on My Recovery Journey: The Power of Environments As I continue my recovery journey post-surgery, I find myself reflecting deeply on the impact that our environments have on our wellbeing. Experiencing firsthand how different spaces affect my healing process has been eye-opening, reinforcing the importance of thoughtful, intentional design. I’ve had the opportunity to speak with hospital staff about their own experiences working in these environments and the challenges they face in creating spaces that support both patient and staff wellbeing. Their insights have only strengthened my belief in the need for biophilic design principles in healthcare settings. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing my insights and experiences in a series of blog posts, exploring how elements like nature, light, colour and sound can transform spaces to promote healing and wellbeing. Whether you’re designing healthcare facilities, workplaces, or homes, I hope my journey can offer some practical takeaways on creating environments that truly nurture us. Stay tuned for more reflections and ideas on the powerful connection between our spaces and our health. 🌿 #biophilicdesign #wellbeing #healingspaces #designforhealth #nature #natureinspired #healthyspaces #environment #wellness

Healthcare systems have the challenge of serving those with high expectations and options — patients, families, and staff. It’s a delicate balance exacerbated by staff shortages and burnout, as well as patients’ drive toward consumerism. Often, health systems try to use hotel - like design and amenities — hospitality—as a differentiator, and it falls flat. We’ve uncovered the cultural underpinnings of hospitality, which appear to be more powerful for meeting people's real, unmet needs, especially when seeking care. Safety and security, intellectual welcome, and an open table. The following collection of space types showcases solutions from MillerKnoll’s Ancillary product portfolio that support patients, family, and staff, in healthcare settings. https://lnkd.in/eE4A9qdn #johnamarshallco #healthcaredesign #healingspaces #hermanmiller #knoll #millerknoll #geiger #dwr #naughtone #nemschoff #muuto #HAY #designinspo #bringyourspacetolife #officefurniture #interiordesign
