Medico and Rize deliver versatile illumination for patients, families and the healthcare professionals who care for them.
At Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, a simple yet thoughtful lighting strategy serves a dual purpose. Along with creating a welcoming, supportive environment for young patients and their families, this lighting scheme delivers functional illumination for the medical professionals who care for them.
The strategy is based on a pair of Lumenwerx collections, both designed and seal-rated for use in healthcare settings. In multipurpose rooms used by children, their families, and staff, Medico recessed fixtures provide comfortable illumination for a range of activities. Whether patients are reading books, parents are taking a break, or hospital staff are completing daily tasks, flexible control options ensure everyone is comfortable. What’s more, thanks to a discreet ceiling-integrated design, sightlines are kept clean and calming.
In patient rooms, Rize recessed luminaires deliver versatile illumination for a range of healthcare needs. Offering ambient lighting for examinations, reading, and routine medical tasks, these can also be dimmed for nighttime observation when patients are sleeping. An integral biologically-optimized light spectrum offers additional support for circadian rhythms, a key feature in a healthcare setting.
By addressing the needs of patients, families and staff, this minimalist lighting strategy delivers the comfort and functionality needed by a children’s hospital. Together, Medico and Rize succeed in helping create spaces where clinical work and human comfort coexist in peaceful harmony.
