Hospitals can design isolation rooms that not only meet the infection control needs of the patient and staff but meet patients’ emotional needs as well. We explore how to improve patient’s experiences throughout their healthcare journey, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This exhibit provides an immersive experience that places children and families in Colonial America/Philadelphia in the 1770s. Historic landmarks in Philadelphia’s “Old City” served as inspiration for the exhibit’s look/feel, exhibit components, and story line.
