Soliant Health To Name 20 Most Beautiful U.S. Hospitals

On May 14, Soliant Health of Atlanta, Georgia opened up voting for its 2nd Annual “20 Most Beautiful Hospitals” contest.

Soliant Health offers hospitals and other medical providers temporary and direct-hire healthcare professionals, including nurses, physicians, therapists and pharmacists, with placements in leading hospitals and facilities across the U.S.

After receiving nearly 200 nominations for their contest, a panel of experts reviewed each hospital and picked the top 50 entries based on measures such as architectural style, photogenic properties, landscaping and distinctiveness.  The voting process, to culminate in 20 top hospitals, is open to all until May 31, 2010, and can be found at http://www.mostbeautifulhospitals.com (where you can also learn more about last year’s winners).

Last year’s contest winners included facilities across the U.S. with unique features like rooftop gardens, domes full of luminescent stars, and sea creatures swimming overhead while patients undergoing MRI’s.

David Alexander, President of Soliant Health said, “We’ve received such great nominations this year, and we’re so excited to start the voting process on selecting the most beautiful hospitals.  A beautiful hospital not only pleases the eye, but makes treatment a better experience, resulting in happier, healthier patients.”
