Patients’ friends or family members are often invited to bedsides in pre-op and the PACU, but don’t always have a place to sit as they offer support to their loved ones. That’s why we hung a folding chair on the wall of each patient bay. Hanging the chairs keeps them out of high-traffic areas when they’re not in use and is a smart storage solution in surgical facilities where extra space is often at a premium. It’s a way to help visitors feel more welcome while preventing the over-cluttering of spaces where staff and patients on stretchers need to move about freely.
