Phoebe Sumter Medical Center, Americus, Ga., topped Soliant Health's annual list of the 20 most beautiful hospitals in the United States. In an article on the FacilityCare website, staff offered some insights as to what that meant.
Phoebe Sumter is a LEED Silver-certified facility with an eco-friendly rooftop garden, widespread use of natural lighting, 76 all-private patient rooms and HCAHPS scores that exceed national standards of quietness and cleanliness.
The hospital has become a part of the local tour for visitors to the town of about 16,000.
When architects designed the hospital they came and looked around the campus and said it feels like a town square. They kept that in mind when they created the design.
