CREATIVE SOLUTION
Directly off the Main Lobby Corridor is the entrance to the Women’s Center, which includes the first hospital-based spa in the state of Illinois. Soft lighting, soothing colors, and three water features welcome the visitor and/or patient. A full-service spa off the lobby of the hospital was designed both to expand the public’s view of healthcare and healing and to forge a greater link with the community. Condell’s easily accessible “InnerSpa” is open to the public as well as to patients and staff.
In addition to traditional spa services such as massage, manicure and pedicure, the InnerSpa offers cosmetic consultation to women who may suffer disfigurement from a medical condition, chemotherapy, or surgery. Patients can now consult about prosthetics or be fitted for a wig as part of a truly integrated healthcare program. Surrounding the spa are Women’s Imaging, a Daycare Center and Ob-Gyn physician offices.
