Delaware children's hospital expansion designed with patient input
Healthcare Design magazine offers first look at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children project
Healthcare Design magazine's website offers a first look at the Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children expansion project. The Wilmington, Dela., facility's design was created with input from patients and their families. Features include 220-square-foot, single-patient rooms with distinct areas for patients, family and caregivers. Each room contains separate TVs for patients and family and a convertible bed for sleepovers.
Environmental services use cleaning carts every day, but they are often overlooked. Keeping them clean and properly stocked is key to preventing infection in healthcare facilities.
As healthcare moves toward prevention and long-term wellness, the Alice L. Walton Healthcare Campus illustrates how design strategies are evolving to support this transition.
