How will the environment enhance healing?
Our goal in the new Voorhees hospital is to create a healing environment that improves outcomes through the creative use of evidence-based design. We recognize that the healing environment is a vital part of therapeutic treatment where the setting contributes to health instead of adding to the burden of stress. Such designs incorporate the use of light and space, the provision of family space, the availability of healing gardens and walking paths, and the creation of meditation spaces.
