In 2016 Sempergreen Colombia supplied 200m2 of Sempergreen Sedum-mix blankets for this wonderfully designed roof top garden on top of this Cardiovascular Hospital in Bucaramanga, Colombia. The FCV Hospital is ranked 8th best hospital in Latin America and is committed to achieving the best care experience for each patient and complying with the most rigorous standards of quality and safety worldwide.
Healing environment with green roof
The Sedum blankets, installed by Groncol, are applied in combination with a variation of other vegetation, creating a relaxing atmosphere for employees as well as a healing environment for the hospital patients. Research shows that greenery encourages faster recovery for patients, resulting in a shorter hospital stay. Moreover, a person’s tolerance of pain is higher in a green environment. These benefits are known as a ‘healing environment’.
