Integration of Caring Science into San Leandro Hospital Build
Intent to Contribute Statement: (4) Medical center practice setting for both patients and staff. We would like to highlight the
caring science integration into the new San Leandro medical Center. The highlights we will
demonstrate on the poster are the colors chosen for the center. The pallet of colors chosen are
reflective of Cultural Diversity. We will also show the leaf pattern through out the hospital. Will
also see if we can show some of the artwork as well.

Caring Science Definition
“A caring science perspective is grounded in a relational ontology of being-in-relation, and a world view of unity and connectedness of All. Transpersonal Caring acknowledges unity of life and connections that move in concentric circles of caring – from individual, to others, to community, to world, to Planet Earth, to the universe.”
– Jean Watson

Total Health Environment
The overall branding concept for the San Leandro Medical Center (SLMC) facility is the…
“Total Health Environment”(THE), which allows compassion, wisdom, love, and
caring in our facilities.

San Leandro Med Center Total Health Environment (THE) and Interior Design Direction
• How do we design “Total Health Environment” into our facilities? The built environment is a physical expression
of our brand and our values as an organization. It must communicate our understanding of our consumers, their needs, emotions, and outlook on health.
• We have 21 key concepts from “THE” built into the San Leandro Medical Center design for each person to experience and enjoy.

Historical link:
• The first inhabitants of San Leandro, who arrived between 3500 and
2500 BC, were the ancestors of the Ohlone Nation, called Costenos
or “coast people” by Spanish settlers. In 1772, Spanish soldier,
Captain Pedro Fages, discovered San Leandro
• Between 1800 to the present there have been four waves of
Portuguese immigration into San Leandro and surrounding areas

“Ethnic Interiors,” by Dinah Hall
“It is interesting to realize that ethnic cultures, even those from opposite corners of the world,
have always shown a striking similarity of expression and inspiration, the ethnic motifs
and artifacts from one continent often sit happily with those of another.”
