Standard Textile Co. Inc., a global leader in health care and hospitality textiles, has announced the company won four awards at the 2024 Nightingale Awards, held at the Healthcare Design Conference + Expo in Indianapolis, Ind., on Oct. 7, 2024. The company earned four awards, including the highest recognition for sustainability and innovation: AMY™ Privacy Curtain was awarded Best of Sustainability and Newton® Wand Chain-Free Solar Shade earned Best of Innovation.
In addition to Best of Sustainability, AMY won first place in the “Architectural Products: Non-Clinical” category as the industry’s first all-fabric privacy curtain designed to simplify curtain management in health care settings. By eliminating metal hooks and plastic carriers, its one-piece design makes curtain changes up to five times faster, significantly reducing time and labor for Environmental Services teams. Additionally, AMY reduces noise during curtain operation creating a quieter healing environment.
Recognized for Best of Innovation, the Newton Wand was also awarded first place in the “Window Shading & Treatments” category for its ADA-compliant, chain-free design that enhances safety, durability and accessibility. This solar shade simplifies operation with an intuitive wand control that requires less than 5 pounds of force, ensuring ease of use for all. It was also certified as “Best for Kids” by the Window Covering Manufacturers Association.
“These four awards, particularly the top honors for sustainability and innovation, are a testament to our relentless pursuit of human-centric, transformative solutions in healthcare design,” says Todd Steele, vice president of interiors group sales and business development at Standard Textile. “We are proud to be recognized for delivering products that not only improve operational efficiency but also contribute to better patient care and environmental responsibility.”
