Hospitals and healthcare centers across the U.S. are beginning to take advantage of the spaces outside their buildings, and for good reason: Outdoor play spaces for children are becoming more commonplace, and hospital visitors and patients are spending more time mingling outdoors. At USA SHADE, we understand the importance of protecting children, the elderly and those with medical complications from excess sun with shade structures.
Shade structures are a critical consideration for hospitals and health-related organizations due to the growing need to protect patients from UV radiation and harsher elements. If these structures are in place, hospital recovery patients can still venture outside and reap the benefits of nature without the risk of heat-related ailments.
According to Clare Cooper Marcus, a Professor Emerita of Architecture and Landscape Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, studies of Alzheimer’s facilities have shown that inhabitants with access to a garden ask for fewer drugs to deal with insomnia and agitation. She claims that even hospital employees could benefit from having access to a garden to get outside and reduce stress.
Marcus also suggests that individuals on medications, including psychiatric drugs, HIV-AID medication and chemo-therapy, need to stay out of the direct sun. These patients would benefit from shade structures positioned in the hospital’s entry patio.
Along with offering protection from the sun, custom hospital shade structures can provide year-round solutions for healthcare organizations and increase the value of architectural projects. Shade structures can also add visual appeal to hospitals. Our precise attention to detail and extensive industry know-how will ensure that you get the right shade structure to meet your needs.
