A New Standard of Care

The Sacramento VA Medical Center saw the remodel as an opportunity to design a new standard of care. They hoped to create a home-like environment that was more welcoming to patients and their families. They wanted to improve the layout of each room and the workflow of the staff to alleviate their stress and provide them with more time to give attention to patients.

In order to accomplish these goals and to make their vision of a new standard of care come to life, the VA project team called together an expert design team - Hilliard Architects Inc. and Wikoff Design Studio. Together, the VA project team and the design team built test models that will be revealed at the end of next month to patients, administration and staff. The models will act as a trial run, testing the new standards of care.
