In this calming yet impactful keynote, leaders from St. Luke’s University Hospital Network explore how a focus on rest, quiet, and recovery can transform the patient experience. Drawing from their initiative to redesign the hospital environment around the principles of silence, soothe, and sleep, Christina Musser and Dr. Marisa Schwartz will share how small environmental shifts can yield powerful results in healing, satisfaction, and trust.
Attendees will learn how intentional design and behavior changes can reduce anxiety, promote restfulness, and support both patients and caregivers in high-stress clinical settings.
