Top clinical hospital Meander Medical Center from Amersfoort recently opened the renovated Eye Clinic. However, the new location is completely indoors, which meant there was a lack of direct daylight. The solution was found in NatureConnect, the lighting that imitates natural light all day long. NatureConnect gives energy and contributes to a feeling of well-being which is an important advantage, given the great pressure that healthcare workers face.

In the outpatient environment of the eye clinic, patients are coming and going all day long. They visit the location for short, intensive treatment by highly specialized staff, such as nurses and doctors. Patients and staff benefit from optimal performance and minimum stress. Attention to health and well-being is therefore essential. Annemarie Schaap, project leader at Meander Medical Center: “The fact that we wanted daylight in a department without outside windows was a challenge in the design phase. We found a perfect solution in NatureConnect from Signify.”
