“Walking through the newly remodeled Emergency Department at Tri-City Medical Center was a remarkable experience. What struck me immediately was what it did not feel like. It did not feel like an emergency department. Instead, the space felt serene, calming, and intentionally designed to promote healing. Soft lighting, soothing colors, thoughtfully selected imagery, and modern finishes transformed what is traditionally a high-stress environment into one that feels therapeutic and welcoming. Even during what would normally be considered a busy period in the Emergency Department, the atmosphere was unexpectedly peaceful. The noise and chaos often associated with emergency care had been replaced by a sense of quiet calm. At times, it felt more like walking through a library than a hospital emergency room.  Equally impressive was the impact the environment appeared to have on the people within it. Staff members were smiling, engaged, and energized. Patients appeared more relaxed and comfortable. Families seemed at ease. The entire space fostered a sense of dignity, compassion, and healing. This transformation represents far more than a physical renovation. It demonstrates Tri-City Medical Center's commitment to creating an exceptional patient experience while providing high-quality emergency care in an environment designed around comfort, wellness, and humanity.

​

The result is truly spectacular—a modern Emergency Department that not only delivers outstanding clinical care but also creates a calming, healing experience for every patient, family member, physician, nurse, and staff member who walks through its doors.”
