At UnityPoint Health – Meriter, furniture selection goes far beyond aesthetics. In a high-demand healthcare environment, durability, cleanability, flexibility, and long-term value are critical considerations. Over the years, Integra has supported numerous projects across the hospital and its affiliated clinics as the organization continues to refresh and modernize its spaces.

Today, working alongside Integra representative Jenny Crubaugh of J Cru Contract Furnishings, Integra seating is used throughout the campus, creating a cohesive and consistent look and feel from one space to the next.

Recent projects include updates to patient waiting areas, public lounges, the hospital’s birthing center, and the Monona Clinic, a 15-year-old facility in need of both visual and functional renewal. Outdated, wood-heavy furnishings that posed sanitary concerns were replaced with lighter, more contemporary seating solutions from Integra, creating brighter, calmer spaces that better support patient and family comfort while meeting healthcare’s stringent cleaning requirements.

Products from Integra’s Coastal Collection—including Tide and Marina seating—were selected for their blend of residential warmth and healthcare-grade performance. Metal legs withstand frequent mopping, while solid-surface arm caps and tabletops support infection prevention and clean-out designs simplify daily maintenance. Component-based construction allows upholstery to be refreshed over time without replacing entire pieces, aligning with Meriter’s sustainability goals and budget requirements.
