There are currently seven hospitals under the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) system, including four community hospitals (Concordia, Grace, Seven Oaks, and Victoria), two tertiary hospitals (Health Sciences Centre and St. Boniface), and three long-term care centers (Deer Lodge, Misericordia, and Riverview). Meanwhile, there are dozens upon dozens of independent medical clinics located through the city. As an administrator or Chief Operating Officer (or other role) you have been charged with making the decision to repaint your facility. The benefits of doing so are numerous, and include the following:
-
Reduced patient anxiety: Maintaining a well-painted hospital with calming colors in particular, can help alleviate patient (and loved ones) anxiety, making them more relaxed while waiting, during standard checkups, and during procedures. Generally, a palette of soft blues, greens, and neutral tones like beige and light gray create a calming atmosphere in a medical facility environment.
-
Trust reinforcement: Maintaining a well-painted hospital infers attention to detail and a commitment to premium medical service, enhancing the image and promoting feelings of trust within patients and families of patients.
-
Enhanced hygiene: Antimicrobial and paints with low Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment, supporting hygiene standards set forth by the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA).
-
Increased staff morale: A well-maintained and aesthetically pleasing workspace is known to enhance the morale of patient intake personnel, nurses, physicians, and everyone else staffed within the hospital. This can increase productivity and reduce human resource turnaround.
-
Improved hospital function and workflow: The provision of a radiant, clean, and well-maintained healthcare spaces can make it easier for staff to navigate and maintain the hospital which optimizes workflow.
-
Reduced maintenance: Durable paint coatings and finishing reduce long-term maintenance costs and keeps hospital spaces and rooms looking sharp for longer.

Hospital Interior Painting Services
While it depends upon average daily staff and patient traffic, hospitals should repaint interior common areas like patient rooms and hallways every 3 to 5 years, with high-traffic areas like corridors and waiting rooms requiring repainting as frequently as every 2 to 3 years to maintain hygiene and aesthetics. For instance, there is a disproportionately higher need to interior repainting in corridors where crash-carts exist storage en route to urgent care.
