Abbott Northwestern Hospital, Neuroscience/ Orthopaedic/ Spine Patient Care Center

Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

The 128-bed Neuroscience/ Orthopaedic/Spine (NOS) Patient Care Center integrates aspects of Abbott Northwestern's Healing Environment Aesthetic Standards (physical, psychological, spiritual) with principles of patient-centered care and attributes of fengshui. The design accents and honors the unique nature of the NOS Centers of Excellence.

Providing a calm and elegant environment for patients, staff and visitors alike is at the heart of the design. Patient rooms are shaped by the unique nature of the NOS patient population and include zones for caregivers, patients and families.
