Do themed exam rooms make a meaningful difference in the treatment experience for pediatric patients?
Young patients at the Cure 4 The Kids Foundation will now see a new circus-themed exam room designed to make clinic visits more welcoming. The foundation unveiled the space to honor ongoing support from The Las Vegas Circus Center.
Why it matters
The room features bright primary and secondary colors and abstract shapes by artist Ricky Watts to help children manage stress during medical appointments. It mirrors the aesthetic of the 52,000-square-foot circus center to create a more familiar environment.
The facility, which has operated since 2007, directs 95 cents of every dollar toward patient care. The design of the new exam room draws inspiration from The Las Vegas Circus Center, which spans 52,000 square feet.
