New England, USA – August 16, 2022: Research suggests that healing environments, built on the principles of Evidence-based Design, can make healthcare facilities less stressful. This then promotes healing and improves the well-being of patients.

The first proof of the therapeutic impact of nature on healing patients was observed by Roger S. Ulrich, Ph.D., EDAC, in 1984. He noticed that post-surgery patients who were provided with a window-view of nature healed faster and required less pain medication.

To promote wellbeing in medical environments, Ann Dahlgren and Douglas Foulke, provide medical facilities with inspiring nature and landscape photography that creates a calmer, more positive, and nourishing environment to promote healing and rehabilitation.

Their range of calming landscape photographs captures the rawness and power of nature that can help patients thrive. The nature art can be installed in waiting rooms, reception areas, operation theaters, ERs, and hospital rooms to help destress and relax patients, families, and healthcare staff.

According to Ann and Douglas, “Nature heals but not everyone has the option to just take a walk in an open field. This is why our nature art for healthcare is so important.

We make sure hospitals, clinics, mental health units, and other medical facilities emit warmth to relax their visitors and inhabitants. Healthcare buildings are not meant to be cold, sterile places. They heal, cure, and give hope.

Our healthcare décor service gives hospitals and other healthcare units a feeling of comfort and reliability, which in turn promotes healing, and creates a relaxing environment for everyone.”

Healing with Imagery, the Massachusetts photography service led by Ann and Doug, hosts a carefully curated virtual gallery of nature and landscape photography. From breath-taking mountain views to flowing rivers, and green forestlands, customers can find a variety of nature photographs that can revitalize any healthcare facility.
