‘Play stations’ bring comfort and joy The past year has witnessed positive changes in play spaces – both inside in Greenville and outside in Columbia. A sea change at Patewood campus As we closed the doors to playrooms during the pandemic, Prisma Health Children’s Hospital in the Upstate used this time to undertake renewal projects, ultimately bringing comfort and joy to pediatric patients and their families. In September 2020, we unveiled a new pediatric waiting room at Prisma Health’s Patewood Outpatient Surgery Center in Greenville. The waiting area is reserved for children scheduled for outpatient surgery. There was an identified need here to update the furniture and overall room décor to increase comfort levels and overall patient experience.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought a sea change to play areas, such as this one on Patewood campus, with renovations being undertaken while playrooms were closed for health and safety reasons.
