title: Exemplary health care facilities.
abstract: To inspire design professionals to create innovative, life-enhancing health care environments, the First Annual National Symposium on Health Care Interior Design provided tours of exemplary health care facilities in the San Diego area. Innovative design approaches ran the gamut from thoughtful interior space planning to a fresh use of materials, furnishings, color, lighting, sound and art that satisfied the senses and created an ambience in which users feel confident, comfortable and in control of their health care environment.
