Academic Medicine
Implementing capital strategies on academic medical center campuses requires a specialized understanding of clinical delivery futures, translational research, and philosophies of medical education. As one of the highest-ranked North American firms in design for university, research, and healthcare, Cannon Design draws upon a fully integrated understanding of these areas to create highly successful, world-class academic medical center environments, where cutting edge medicine and research are delivered in an environment with a human touch.
Community Hospitals
Whether rural, suburban, or urban, community hospitals face a host of fiscal pressures and a range of obligations to their constituents. In planning and designing community hospitals, Cannon Design partners with clients to create healthcare environments that reflect the importance of community to the healing process. With a broad understanding of the variety of service lines and departments offered in the community hospital, we undertake state-of-the-art planning and design to enhance and transform the experience for patients, staff and caregivers—facilitating the delivery of family-focused care that addresses each community’s unique needs.
Ambulatory Care
As more and more medical treatments are offered in ambulatory rather than inpatient settings, Cannon Design has been helping healthcare providers accommodate this trend. Healthcare executives are embracing the role of design in differentiating and marketing services, creating a strong brand statement, impacting operations, and improving overall experience. In response, our design approach focuses on convenience and flexibility, retail amenities and creating a strong brand identity.
Cancer Care
Cancer is one of the most frightening diagnoses a person can hear, and statistics indicate that cancer will continue to touch more people as the population ages. Cannon Design has used this knowledge to inform interior design, creating a powerful patient experience. By providing control over the environment and a connection to caregivers—most importantly family members—we are able to make the frequent visits a cancer patient has as comfortable and healing as possible Our interior solutions for cancer patients are in touch with the intimacy of nature and its power to heal. Our experience ranges from large scale, complex cancer centers to small, intimate community-based settings.
Women’s and Children’s
Women’s health facilities provide a wide array of services. Successful design of a women’s health facility requires knowledge of the comprehensive needs for women. Cannon Design brings this knowledge to bear in the design of women’s centers, with a consistent emphasis on family-centered care. Designing for this patient population dictates that aesthetics considerations, such as the choice of materials, lighting and color, is essential in creating a nurturing and supportive environment for care. Designing for children requires an understanding of their unique needs. Children have a different point of view, engage with their environment differently and need to have a sense of continuity in their lives in order to feel safe and secure. Children’s facilities cover a wide range of ages and each have specific demands of their environment. Spaces designed for children are also designed with families in mind, enabling them to be a part of the daily activities and care. For environments focused on children, special attention to enhancing positive stimulus while reducing the impact of negative stimulus can directly impact the well being of the child, the family, and the staff.
Emergency
Often the first point of contact a patient has with a hospital is their emergency department. Another ‘front door’, ED’s have a tremendous impact on a patient’s experience, and does much to shape his/her opinion when seeking care in the future. Emergency departments are busy places where the urgency of treatment is paramount, and Cannon Design’s care environments support these activities efficiently and safely. Our approach to the design of emergency departments is to address the full range of healthcare issues from routine care to catastrophe—while creating a calming and safe place for the most urgent healthcare environment. From large urban trauma centers to community hospital emergency departments, freestanding emergency care facilities, and mass casualty treatment centers, Cannon Design implements solutions that address the unique challenges of emergency medicine and emphasize the efficient, effective, and safe delivery of care.
Behavioral Healthcare
According to the World Health Organization and the National Institute of Mental Health, one in four people will suffer from mental illness at some point in their lives. At Cannon Design, we believe that sensitively designed facilities positively impact patient outcomes. Our approach for behavioral health design is rooted in creating environments that heal the whole person. With that in mind, Cannon Design has created several award-winning facilities that emphasize treating each patient holistically: medically, socially and spiritually. Every detail of design is carefully considered in order to create environments where patient and staff safety is ensured, while avoiding the feeling of an “institution.” Creating “neighborhoods” within our behavioral health facilities allows for the accommodation of variations in the patient population and provides a catalyst for activities and interaction among like-acuity patients.
