Health and wellness concept can be found on Planetree's
website
Planetree's approach is holistic and encourages healing in all
dimensions - mental, emotional, spiritual and social, as well as
physical. It seeks to maximize health care outcomes by integrating
optimal medical therapies. Access to arts and nature are also
incorporated into the healing environment. The Planetree Model
recognizes the importance of architectural and interior design in
the healing process. A growing body of scientific data points to
improved patient outcomes and satisfaction as a result of design
factors which are home-like, barrier free, support patient dignity
and encourage family participation in care. Facility designs
utilizing Planetree's principles result in life-enhancing, healing
environments. Music,
storytellers, clowns, and funny movies create an atmosphere of
serenity and playfulness in the Planetree Model. Artwork in patient
rooms, treatment areas and on art carts add to the ambiance.
Volunteers work with patients who would like to create their own
art, while involvement from artists, musicians, poets and story
tellers from the local community help to expand the boundaries of
the health care facility.
