Improving and maintaining healthy indoor air quality (IAQ) is critical for hospitals and recovery centers. Patients requiring medical attention are, by default, in a vulnerable physical state, however healthcare provers – physicians, nurses and techs must also be considered and provided healthy and comfortable working spaces. As our population in the US ages and healthcare faces worsening shortages of staff we may see the rise of new technologies, virtual care, and remote patient monitoring as a solution to help provide much needed care. Yet at the core of our healthcare system is the hospital, and ensuring these spaces are sanctuaries for healing and low-stress healthy work environments is critical. This AIA-approved webinar will provide a wide-ranging discussion on the benefits of specifying stone wool acoustic ceiling panels in healthcare facilities. The benefits of stone wool as an acoustic tile are numerous, and speakers on the webinar panel will illustrate how this unique material can offer improved acoustic comfort and work To achieve, support and maintain IAQ.
