Healthcare
HIPPOCRATES ONCE SAID, "Nature heals - not physicians." Much has changed in the medical world since the founder of medicine spoke these words — most of it for the better - although in many cases it seems some care providers have forgotten about the role of nature in the healing process.
Now, The Sky Factory founder Bill Witherspoon is bringing nature back into the medical setting through the development of backlit ceilings featuring beautiful skies and edgelit wall systems that feature wild landscapes.
Witherspoon, an artist and entrepreneur, spent more than 40 years of his career painting and photographing natural surroundings when he realized there could be applications for his images in places other than a picture frame on the mantle. In the late 1990s, while working in biotechnology and also as an artist, Witherspoon thought of the concept for the business.
