The Brief

Southwoods Health runs a growing footprint across the Mahoning Valley — the 250 Building, Pain & Spine, the Healthridge Campus in Campbell, the Executive Centre, and a long list of adjacent facilities. As that footprint grew, so did the signage need: entrance identity, donor recognition, suite IDs, ADA-compliant wayfinding, exterior monuments — across every building, every floor, every door.

The Challenge

Healthcare signage isn't just signage. Spaces have to stay open while the work happens. Materials have to clean to clinical standards. ADA, donor copy, and brand consistency all have to land at the same time. And the identity has to feel as permanent as the buildings it lives on — because it usually outlasts them.

The Process
  1. 01
    Coordinate

    Standing relationship with Southwoods facilities and marketing teams. Most projects start as a walkthrough, not a brief.

  2. 02
    Produce

    Acrylic, dimensional letters, illuminated cabinets, monument inserts, ADA-compliant interior signage — fabricated and prepped at our Boardman shop.

  3. 03
    Install

    Phased installs around clinical schedules. Most landings happen before the doors open or after the last patient leaves.
