Abstract

The Maison de l’Enfance et de l’Adolescence (MEA) in University Hospitals of Geneva (HUG) represents a transformative approach to healthcare. Designed with Evidence-Based Design principles, MEA focuses on patient and healthcare professionals’ well-being. It acts as a bridge between the medical field and the community, offering cultural and educational activities. The core concept of “Care” prioritizes holistic patient care, empowering individuals to actively participate in their recovery. Medical Humanities incorporate arts and humanities to enhance patient experiences. Integrative Health combines conventional and alternative medicine, emphasizing mental, emotional, and social well-being. MEA’s patient-centric approach fosters resilience, empowerment, and inclusivity, setting a holistic healthcare standard for the future.
