Hospitals across the country—including leaders like UW Health—are rethinking how interior spaces impact not just operations, but patient health, staff safety, and environmental responsibility. A key area of focus? Furniture and design.
In fact, more than one-third of hospitals are actively working to eliminate chemicals of concern from furnishings and finishes. Why? Because off-gassing from traditional materials—like PVC, PFAS, antimicrobials, and flame retardants—can pollute indoor air and create long-term health risks.
At the same time, healthcare systems are prioritizing flexible, adaptable spaces—especially in laboratories—where sustainable design can support changing technologies, reduced waste, and better workflow.
