The largest hospital system in California's
San Joaquin Valley, Community Medical Centers operates 16 major health
facilities and employs 6,300 people. Corbin developed sign systems for many of those facilities, including
Community Regional Medical Center—Community's flagship
hospital and part of a 58-acre medical campus in the heart of downtown
Fresno.
The exterior sign systems use shapes that reflect
the diamond in the corporate brand identity. Blue and dark grey are
used to establish an anticipatory value with the viewer, while certain
historic buildings received customized framing details that align with
the architecture.
Interior signs use soothing colors
and photographic imagery to enhance the health
care provider's
healing environments. The use of paper inserts allow for fast,
economical updating as locations and room functions change.
