BRINGING THE NORTH
INSIDE
“It is important that we bring the
Northern culture into the hospital for
the comfort of patients and their fami-
lies,” says Badari. Great care was taken
to consult with representatives from
across the NWT to ensure the cultur-
al needs of the population are met.,
This has resulted in an interior design
that has incorporated northern ani-
mals, colours, geography, along with
northern menus In a particularly warm
touch, each floor in the new building
is coded by animal, colour, and topog-
raphy, to help visitors quickly orien-
tate themselves. For example, Level
1, is represented by aurora borealis,
the colour dark green, and the polar
bear; level 2, a river, light green, and
the moose.
Business Elite Canada will catch up
with Badari later next year to com-
memorate the hospital’s opening. Un-
til then, the Stanton Territorial Hospi-
tal project forges ahead ensuring that
the hospital runs at full steam on First
Patient Day, onward. Adds Badari,
“the new Stanton Territorial Hospital
will better meet the future health care
needs of the NWT for decades to co
me.”
