The most successful healthcare facilities are ever-changing, dynamic environments. Salus designs such facilities with the 'just right' solution that synthesizes program, space, time, and technology. The focus always remains on people serving people. Creating these solutions is Salus' passion.
RESPONSIVE
With an exclusive focus on healthcare design we analyze, question, reason, and plan to the unique needs of:
Patients - Improving quality of care.
Care Providers - Enhancing staff productivity, satisfaction, and LEAN delivery.
Client Business - Integrating the specific project into an organization's mission, delivery, and metrics.
COLLABORATIVE
Like our clients, we value innovation and efficiency. We plan each project in detail, identifying those critical moments of essential information: when the coordination and facilitation of stakeholders, engineers, consultants, contractors and others yields a powerful solution.
HEALTH
Like our namesake - the Roman goddess Salus - we're driven by patient healing that our designs serve, and the wellness of our client organizations. We're passionate and active learners of health deliveries, codes, sustainability, and technologies.
