New England, USA – 21-Jul,2022: Many studies have concluded that nature inspires healing. The 1984 research conducted by Roger S. Ulrich, PhD, EDAC, has changed the way healthcare design is carried out. It concluded that the physical environment has an impact on the healing process and well-being of patients, their families, and healthcare staff.
Ann Dahlgren and Douglas Foulke provide medical facilities with inspiring nature and landscape photography to aid in patient healing and help create a calm, nourishing environment. They capture the rawness of nature and keep its essence intact in their range of calming landscape photographs.
This is where evidence-based design (EBD) for healthcare facilities comes in. EBD creates a healing environment where patients thrive. Though there are many other elements involved, the most important one is the inclusion of nature in hospital rooms, waiting areas, operation theatres, emergency rooms, and more.
Strong adherents of EBD, the pair aims to provide therapeutic artwork to healthcare facilities, homes, workplaces, and public spaces. Their healing photo art service helps patients destress, relax, and rehabilitate through specially curated nature art for healthcare.
According to Ann and Douglas, “In the past hospitals used to be these cold, dreadful places with not an ounce of comfort and warmth which was ironic because healthcare facilities exist to heal us. Now, those visions of blank white sterile walls staring at us are gone. EBD has changed that.
We know nature is more than an aesthetically pleasing visual aid that calms us. Our nature photography makes hospitals less stressful, promotes faster healing, and creates a pleasant, safe environment for families and staff.”
Healing with Imagery, the New England photography service led by Ann and Doug showcases a brilliantly designed virtual gallery that hosts a myriad of nature photographs. From vast oceans during sunset to dense woodlands and starry nights, there’s a wide variety that can add life, hope, comfort, and warmth to any healthcare facility.
Over the years, Ann and Douglas’ photography has appeared on many platforms including national magazines, books, advertisements and album covers.
