SOLIANT HEALTH NAMES 20 MOST BEAUTIFUL HOSPITALS IN U.S. FOR 2009

Soliant Health, the healthcare staffing unit of MPS Group, Inc. (NYSE:MPS), has released its list of the 20 Most Beautiful Hospitals in the United States for 2009. Winners were chosen based on measures such as architectural style, photogenic properties, landscaping and distinctiveness.

Soliant Health offers hospitals and other medical providers temporary and direct-hire healthcare professionals, including nurses, physicians, therapists and pharmacists, with placements in leading facilities across the United States.

“We were inspired to create this list by recent data that found ‘happy hospitals make happy patients,’” said David Alexander, president of Soliant Health. “As a provider of healthcare professionals for hospitals, we recognize that staff morale and attention to patients’ needs are critical to patients’ happiness, but the survey also showed that another factor in satisfaction was how the hospital actually looked.”

The link between beautiful hospitals and pleased patients has been observed by Soliant Health’s travelers as they work in facilities around the country. “There is a special feel to hospitals with inviting public spaces and soothing private rooms,” said Gale Yochum, a five-year Soliant operating room travel nurse. “Patients who feel satisfied with the facility may recover faster and have shorter stays, which is good for both hospital and patient.”

The 2009 Winners of the 20 Most Beautiful Hospitals in the U.S. are:

Johns Hopkins, Baltimore, Maryland

Sepulveda Ambulatory Care Center, Los Angeles, California

Providence Regional Cancer Partnership, Everett, Washington

Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Neptune, New Jersey

Although it is not a hospital facility, the last entry on the list, the California Academy of Science, was selected because the building’s rainforest core represents the extreme end of the spectrum for what’s possible in bringing healthy design and attractive interiors into spaces for science and health.
