San Diego's Sharp Memorial Hospital named America's Most Beautiful Hospital

Soliant Health, a leading specialty healthcare staffing provider and part of Adecco Group, is proud to announce that San Diego's Sharp Memorial Hospital was named America's Most Beautiful Hospital by Soliant.com visitors.

The contest, which is in its second year, turned this year's choice over to America, and after more than 10,000 votes, Sharp Memorial Hospital took the top spot. Opened in 2009, this $200 million hospital features flowing lines, a curved scroll-style entrance, and a multitude of features designed to make a patient's stay more comfortable including hospital beds that play lullabies and a jade garden for relaxation.

"When designing the new Sharp Memorial Hospital, creating an environment that enhanced the healing process for patients and reduced stress for loved ones was at the heart of the design strategy," said Dan Gross, Executive Vice President of Hospital Operations for Sharp HealthCare. "This represents Sharp HealthCare's continued commitment to provide our patients and families with not just what they need and expect, but what they really want and deserve."

"There is so much emerging data around what a beautiful hospital can do for a patient," said David Alexander, president of Soliant. "Sharp Memorial is the perfect example of what a strategically designed, state of the art hospital can do for the healing process."

While Sharp Memorial Hospital came away as the 2010 winner, there was stiff competition from a number of other amazing hospitals. The top twenty list was rounded out by:
