Saban Community Clinics: Signage That Reflects Care, Compassion, and Clarity

Saban Community Clinics has served Los Angeles for decades with a mission rooted in access, empathy, and excellence. Their facilities provide comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and behavioral health services to individuals and families from all walks of life.

For an organization so deeply dedicated to inclusivity and dignity, every design detail matters — and that includes any and all signage. Each sign needed to serve a dual purpose: functional clarity and emotional warmth.

Over our 15-year partnership, Landmark Signs has helped Saban maintain a consistent, professional brand across multiple clinic locations. This most recent project represented another step forward in that trusted collaboration — combining thoughtful design, durable materials, and creative artistry to make every visitor’s experience smoother and more welcoming.

At Landmark Signs, every project begins with understanding the client’s brand, space, and audience. For Saban Community Clinics, we took a holistic approach, ensuring that every healthcare sign — from large exterior letters to small wayfinding plaques — worked together to tell one cohesive story.

The Channel Letter Signs and 3D Wall Signs were designed to command attention while complementing each building’s architecture. Using clean illumination and professional branding, these signs made each clinic instantly recognizable. The durable materials chosen for these medical facility signs ensured they would maintain their quality and clarity for years to come.

Inside each clinic, ADA-compliant healthcare signage — including Office Signs, Wall Signs, and Directory Signs — provided clarity for patients and staff alike. The comprehensive system ensured that from the moment a visitor entered the building, they could easily find their way to check-in, exam rooms, or offices without confusion. Every sign followed ADA standards for visibility and accessibility while maintaining a consistent, polished look across all locations. This uniform design built a sense of reliability and trust that patients could feel.

Perhaps the most meaningful element of this project was the addition of custom murals in patient rooms. These vivid, uplifting designs transformed what might have been sterile spaces into warm, inviting environments. Calming colors and thoughtful imagery helped patients relax — a powerful example of how healthcare design and signage can work hand in hand to support emotional well-being.

“The highlight of the project was the custom murals in patient rooms, which transformed clinical spaces into inviting environments that helped patients feel at ease.”

In healthcare, signage does more than direct traffic — it builds trust. Patients visiting medical facilities often arrive anxious or uncertain. Clear, visually cohesive healthcare signage helps guide them confidently through each step of their visit.

From ADA-compliant medical signs that ensure accessibility, to wayfinding systems that reduce confusion, to environmental graphics that calm and comfort — thoughtful signage directly impacts patient experience. At Landmark Signs, we specialize in custom healthcare signage solutions that combine creativity, compliance, and care.

Effective healthcare signage isn’t just functional — it can actively support patient comfort and confidence. Here are a few practical tips for designing signage that benefits both patients and staff:

1. Prioritize creativity over clutter – Bold, thoughtfully designed signs draw attention without overwhelming patients. Creativity should enhance clarity, not compromise it.

2. Make wayfinding intuitive – Signs should be placed where decisions are made, such as lobbies, corridors, and intersections. Clear directional cues reduce stress and make navigation effortless.

3. Use signage to care for patients – Colors, imagery, and murals aren’t just decorative. They create a calming, welcoming atmosphere that helps patients feel at ease.

4. Keep accessibility front and center – ADA-compliant signage ensures every patient can navigate your space safely and comfortably.

5. Align interior & exterior branding – Consistent design strengthens your professional image and builds trust before patients even step inside.

By thinking strategically about design, placement, and visual impact, healthcare facilities can create signage that guides, informs, and comforts — making a meaningful difference in the patient experience. Every choice, from the color palette to the placement of wayfinding signs, communicates care and professionalism. Well-designed signage can reduce stress, improve navigation, and foster a welcoming environment, helping patients feel confident from the moment they enter. Beyond functionality, consistent interior and exterior branding reinforces trust and reliability, ensuring that every visitor recognizes your commitment to quality care. In short, thoughtful signage doesn’t just direct people; it enhances the overall experience, strengthens your facility’s reputation, and supports staff in creating a positive, calming environment for every patient who walks through the door.
