Case Study Brief

Advocate Lutheran General Hospital Patient Tower
Park Ridge, Illinois
“The patient tower expansion showcases sustainable landscapes that contribute to a healthy, safe, and healing environment in a healthcare setting. A series of gardens and healing rooms integrate sustainable stormwater features and native plants, while also providing both public and private spaces for respite. The response to the new healing gardens has been overwhelmingly positive – with increased calmness and reduced stress noted in a patient survey – serving as a great example of healing landscapes.”
