I want you to count up every time you\u2019ve had furniture delivered on a hospital or healthcare project, and the product fell short of your expectations. Do that on one hand. Now, on the other hand, I want you to count up how many times you\u2019ve had to compromise the integrity of a project because you\u2019ve been limited by furniture options and budget. Now, that was kind of a trick question because I know all of you need more than two hands to count up these situations. Here\u2019s a solution: Stance Healthcare. Stance specializes in furniture for the hospital and healthcare setting, and they pride themselves on working with designers who need to modify furniture for a variety of end users. Here\u2019s a great example. At the request of a designer, Stance modified their popular Legend chair to create a closed arm panel and they made the seat depth adjustable for different sized residents in an assisted living facility. How freaking cool is that? Start exploring now at: http:\/\/stancehealthcare.com\/. In part one of Cheryl\u2019s conversation today with Suzanne Fawley, you will learn: How the sudden disappearance of Suzanne\u2019s father at age 8 and his sudden return several years later at age 25, impacted Suzanne\u2019s career path. What Suzanne learned from her several years long childhood experience of spending time in the ED after school where her mom was a nurse at the hospital. What Suzanne learned about furniture and how materials performed from working for some of the best furniture manufacturing professionals in the industry. What Suzanne\u2019s diverse and rich career path, including her post college internship at Hayden Design Associate and her college summer work at Burlington Furniture Industries, taught her about behavioral health design. The difference between behavioral health and mental health, and what The Center for Health Design is now calling this specification. The current state of mental health in the United States and how the growth of behavioral health facilities is supporting the demand. The most positive changes in mental health design from Suzanne\u2019s perspective as a product developer. How behavioral health design is distinctly different from regular commercial design or general hospital design. The definition of the term \u201cResimercial\u201d and why Suzanne finds it so distasteful. Featured Product Porcelanosa\u2019s KRION\u00ae Solid Surface Material is made out of two-thirds natural minerals and a low percentage of high-resistance resins. KRION\u00ae is available in an array of colors, can be thermocurved or backlit, and is antibacterial \u2013 making it a perfect product for the healthcare industry. KRION\u00ae is also highly resistant to impacts and external elements (such as fire, chemicals, and frost), and is easy to clean and maintain.  Inspired by the properties of photocatalytic materials, Porcelanosa has evolved their KRION\u00ae Solid Surface material called K-LIFE. When K-LIFE comes into contact with light, it will be able to purify the air, expel harmful bacteria, and more. K-LIFE can easily be integrated into many applications \u2013 from wall coverings and claddings for ceilings, to custom tables, bars, sinks, shelving units and furniture. The application of K-LIFE in areas with high daily traffic, such as waiting rooms or reception areas, can assure a gradual decontamination of germs and lead to ongoing ecological benefits. Some research performed with KRION\u00ae K-LIFE, which has photocatalytic properties, proved that the material can significantly reduce the presence of bacteria. This revolutionary process has led to a patent pending, innovative, and exclusive product that will have a direct effect on our quality of life.
