| From [ShawContract.com](http://www.shawcontractgroup.com/Html/MarketSegmentsHealthcare): Research shows that healthcare environmental design plays a significant role in wellness and healing. And while patient and staff well-being is a top priority, Shaw Contract Group's innovative flooring options also address your practical concerns: function, accessibility and safety. Find out how our flooring can positively impact your healthcare environment and the lives of those within it. The [Design is Healing](http://www.shawcontractgroup.com/Content/LiteraturePDFs/Product_pdf/SCG_healthcare.pdf) brochure is a comprehensive look at our specific approach to carpet design for healthcare environments. [Design is Healing](http://www.shawcontractgroup.com/Content/LiteraturePDFs/Product_pdf/SCG_healthcare.pdf) details the critical aspects that floors must account for when installed in acute care and long-term care facilities. These areas include: - Evidence-Based Design - Comfort - Performance - Indoor Environments - Sustainability | ![SCG healthcare Page 12 resized 600](https://www.carbonae.com/hs-fs/file-14240571-jpg/images/scg_healthcare_page_12-resized-600.jpg?width=397&height=257&name=scg_healthcare_page_12-resized-600.jpg) |
