🔥 Episode Summary

Getting lost in a hospital is often dismissed as a minor inconvenience.

But what if it’s something more?

In this episode of the Holistic Care Gap Series, we explore how poor wayfinding—confusing layouts, overwhelming signage, and disorienting spaces—can trigger anxiety, stress, and cognitive overload before a patient even receives care.

From the moment a patient steps into a healthcare facility, their ability to orient, navigate, and feel in control shapes their emotional state.

If the journey through a hospital creates stress before care begins… what does that mean for the care itself?

This episode reframes way-finding as more than navigation—it is a psychological and clinical factor that directly influences patient experience and readiness for healing.
