With a vision to create a national and global destination for orthopedic and musculoskeletal care, Crystal Clinic Orthopaedic Center in Akron, Ohio, pulled design inspiration from hospitality environments to create a concierge-like patient experience. The effort earned the 167,500-square-foot project Best of Competition in the 2022 IIDA Healthcare Design Awards program. “We wanted to design a facility that feels less like a hospital, with design elements that truly differentiate Crystal Clinic from other hospital systems,” says Daniel J. Ferry, president and CEO at Crystal Clinic. Opened in November 2021, Crystal Clinic partnered with HGA (Milwaukee) to bring this vision to life by embracing the contemporary design of an upscale hotel for the three-story facility.

Worth The Wait

Image
I shared in my December editor’s note that my family recently moved to a new house. As we’ve worked to settle in and figure out what pieces of our existing furniture should go where, I’ve been making a few purchases, too. Inevitably, supply chain challenges have resulted in a several-months-long wait for our dining table—it exists, but it needs a missing piece before it can ship. While my immediate instinct might be to moan a little, I always stop myself, thanks to a conversation that took place at the Healthcare Design Conference + Expo in October 2022. Each year, we gather our Exhibitor Advisory Board, a group representing some of our major exhibitors in the expo, for a meeting on the last day of the show. They review with us in show management how they thought it went, where we can improve, and so on. As the conversation expanded around issues the group is facing more generally, supply chain inevitably came up there, too. They shared the reality of delays as they wait for ship
