Alliance Community Hospital, whose mission is to
create a safe, comfortable, healing environment, opened a brand new high
performing facility in January, 2006.
As part of this difficult task of balancing a healing environment and a
healthcare organization, Alliance searched for a flooring solution that was
easy to clean, sustainable, aesthetically pleasing and would increase their
return on investment. They chose a

best flooring solutions that balance performance, aesthetics and economic
return.
