“In response to designers’ requests for more healthcare-specific design elements, Panolam created The Healthcare Collection to provide the ultimate in design flexibility for a wide range of healthcare interior environments,” said Wendy Noory, Panolam’s director of design. “The Healthcare Collection includes patterns that are neutral in color and smaller scaled abstracts design elements that will enhance the surroundings of any healthcare environment.”

The Healthcare Collection is a grouping of four new Pionite patterns, four new Nevamar patterns, and four Inspira digital patterns in addition to some existing patterns. These designs include woodgrains, solids and abstracts designed to create a relaxed and healing environment for healthcare interiors.

“We know that healthcare interiors have a direct impact on patient and staff satisfaction, a patient’s stress and healing experience, and organization performance metrics. Surfaces and wall panels are an integrated part of patient-centered healing environments, from all levels of senior living to acute and non-acute care, and we are delighted to leverage our respective brands across multiple categories with this collection to serve the healthcare interiors market,” said Ms. Noory.
