At Visual Impression Signs, we know Cleveland hospitals strive to deliver quality care with compassion to all who walk through their doors. Thoughtful ADA signage represents a meaningful yet straightforward way to transform facilities into more accessible, equitable spaces aligned with serving everyone in the community.
As specialists in custom sign solutions, we’re proud to partner with Cleveland medical centers and clinics to implement ADA signage that removes barriers and conveys an inclusive atmosphere. Read on to discover the meaningful benefits custom ADA signs offer hospitals seeking to better support patients and visitors of all abilities.
Enhancing Wayfinding and Independence
Strategically designed and located ADA signage makes navigating hospital campuses intuitive for those with visual, mobility or other disabilities. Contrasting colors, tactile features like braille, and placement at eye and reach levels essential for those in wheelchairs all help patients navigate independently. Signs also cut down on the need to ask directions repeatedly.
Clear, accessible wayfinding promotes confidence and self-sufficiency while giving staff more quality time with patients. For one of our clients, we implemented ADA parking signage plus custom reception and bathroom signs to improve flow into the modern space.
Reinforcing Patient-First Values
Thoughtfully designed ADA signs also subtly yet significantly reinforce a hospital’s commitment to compassionately serving all patients as needed. Custom reception signs can incorporate patient-centered slogans like “You Come First” to signal inclusive care on an emotional level too. Hospitals aiming to convey whole-person wellness over solely clinical competency stand to benefit greatly from custom signage aligned with their cultures.
Meeting Critical Codes and Compliance
Every hospital needs properly coded ADA signage to meet legal regulations—but customized signage takes compliance further. Rather than the afterthought of bare minimum signage, ADA solutions become an opportunity to make inclusive design overt. For Cleveland-area hospitals undergoing renovations, custom ADA signs also provide smart flexibility to retain existing aesthetics.
Our ADA Signage Enhances Healthcare Spaces
From large-print external signs to more discreet interior options, our custom signage scales to serve every hospital department. Some solutions that power accessible experiences include:

Patient Rooms: Room number and bathroom ID signage helps patients distinguish spaces with ease.
Testing/Treatment Areas: Department headers, exam room numbers, accessible bathroom IDs in contrasting color/font, braille, and at proper heights assists patients. Custom reception signage can also reinforce inclusive service.
Rehabilitation: ADA pool signs, gym entrance signs and signage labeling accessible equipment make fitness and rehab welcoming.
