When New York City became the epicentre of the global COVID-19 pandemic, Studio Elsewhere worked alongside their scientific and clinical partners at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City to deploy their Recharge Rooms to support frontline worker mental health and resilience. Over the past year they have expanded these environments to support the hardest hit hospitals in New York City.

These multisensory healing environments are grounded in Studio Elsewhere's research practice to support brain health in collaboration with neuroscientists, clinicians, patients and caregivers.
