All of us with children know the trauma of taking our kids to the doctor or specialist. It's nerve-wracking, and worse because we know how it scares our little ones to be in the country of doctors and medicine. That's why I'm taken with what Sutter Health has built into its new outpatient pediatrics center near downtown Sacramento.
I had a chance earlier this year to visit, to see how Sutter created a really nice kid-centered interior in its new center. It's a multi-million-dollar makeover of a 52-year-old former Libbys Cannery warehouse, one of the last remnants of Sacramento's agricultural heritage. I like almost nothing better in this world that an old building given new life. And this is one old Sacramento warehouse that's come a long way.
Let's get the words out of the way. The pictures tell the story here. Bright colors, beautiful ceiling features of butterflies and dragonflies and calm-toned waiting rooms to ease a bit of the anxiety. The mural below is named "Window Into Nature." The artist is Nikki Solone of Sacramento.
