Calming, healing, stress/anxiety reducing hospital environments
Patients undergoing stressful treatment can now stare into giant backlit transparencies depicting what the
patient might see if there was a skylight. Utilizing the original nature photographs of Smithsonian Award winning nature photographer Joey Fischer, patients are surrounded in healing imagery, gently reducing stress
and fear while creating calming, less clincal hospital environments. Known as VisualTherapy, Joey's images have been incorporated within 4600 hospitals in 81 countries over the past 31 years.
