White Plains Hospital Named 8th Most Beautiful in U.S.
Recent renovations have quickly become a major enhancement for White Plains Hospital, which was recently named the eighth most beautiful hospital in the United States on Soliant Health’s list of Top 20 Beautiful Hospitals. White Plains Hospital is the only hospital in New York to be named on the list.
For its eighth year, Soliant Health, a provider of specialized healthcare staffing services to hospitals, conducted an 11-month long nomination period for hospitals across the country to determine which hospitals ranked among the best looking by members of their community.
The nomination period collected more than 70 entries, which according to Soliant, was the most diverse to date. White Plains Hospital received nearly 10,0000 votes after being nominated by Brian Kerr, of Mamaroneck, after his positive experience at the Hospital.
Kerr commented, “I was so amazed with how the hospital has grown and advanced so much in such a short amount of time. It really is impressive and a beautiful healing environment.”
A soothing environment has been shown in studies to enhance the healing process by reducing stress, anxiety and tension. Recent expansions and improvements to the 123-year-old institution include the new WPH Center for Cancer Care; six new labor and delivery suites; five new operating rooms designed for state-of-the-art surgical procedures; 24 new private patient rooms; a new entranceway and lobby, which includes a healthy café run by local restaurateur Peter Herrera, and boutique for visitors and employees. Many of the new spaces throughout the campus include warm earth tones, wood paneling, abundant natural light, and colorful plants, to evoke a sense of bringing the outside indoors to enhance feelings of calm and relaxation during stressful times.
