Nature is reflected in the art that takes over the new part of Päijät-Häme Central Hospital – every newborn child receives a rock crystal on a baby tree
The artworks and art prints made from them in the new part of Päijät-Häme Central Hospital bring joy, atmosphere and comfort to people in places where it would otherwise be difficult to place the works.
Art from four Päijät-Häme-based artists has been acquired for the renovated premises of the Päijät-Häme Central Hospital. The selections were preceded by an art competition.
This is reflected in both the themes and the materials.

The forgotten legumes of the Nordic countries could return to Finnish tables – traditional species may fare better in the face of climate change
The researcher has cultivated around 200 heirloom plants throughout the summer in an experimental plantation in Turku. The harvest has been promising, and the new varieties could bring diversity to both fields and plates.
Promising results have been obtained on the climate resilience of traditional legumes in Turku. Soya beans, broad beans and grey peas would make a tasty and colourful addition to Finnish tables.
The small part that ends up as human food is usually processed into some form. Traditional varieties are both beautiful and delicious, and could be enjoyed without processing.
The varieties that Weijola has studied are those that can be directly adopted by the farmer.
– Some of the bean varieties gave a good yield, even more than half a kilo per square meter. This is more than what can usually be produced on commercial farms in Sweden. They have been a festive food in the past in the Nordic countries, but their cultivation has not reached Finland.
Most of the experimental cultivation plant varieties have fallen out of use due to the mechanization of agriculture, but seeds are available from the Nordic gene bank.
Workers went to the forest next to the hospital to recover and were surprised by the effects – now they are considering whether they could take patients there too
The City of Lahti and Päijät-Sote are investigating what health benefits can be gained from the forest next to the Päijät-Häme Central Hospital. According to the researcher, municipalities should be clearly shown the monetary value of the health benefits of nature.
The Kintterö forest near the Päijät-Häme Central Hospital is an ordinary forest along the highway, but it is particularly well suited as a health forest. Many forests can have health benefits, but studies show that certain types of forest are more beneficial to well-being.
A good health forest is so extensive that it has the feel of a forest. It is an advantage if it is easy to reach, close to people and easy to walk around. The forest should also be sufficiently diverse.
In early September, Suutari led Päijät-Soto employees to the health forest. Over five days, a total of twenty health and social services employees did sensory exercises in the forest and considered how the adjacent forest could be used either in their work with patients or in their own well-being at work.
