Hospital & Healthcare Signage in Philadelphia
Coordinated Healthcare Signage from Planning Through Installation
Healthcare signage must communicate clearly across entrances, departments, patient areas, and shared spaces. FASTSIGNS® of Northeast Philadelphia, PA supports hospitals, clinics, and medical offices with custom signs coordinated from initial planning through installation.
We’re locally owned and operated, with a 4.8 average customer rating. Our capabilities include signage, graphic design, content development, and project coordination, allowing us to address connected communication needs rather than treating each sign as a separate task.

Signage Shaped Around Your Healthcare Environment
Every healthcare environment has distinct audiences, messages, and physical spaces. We work with facility stakeholders to understand their objectives and develop solutions around the layout and communication needs involved.
Our visual communication team, project managers, and graphic designers collaborate throughout the work. This structure maintains continuity as a project moves from early planning and content decisions into design, production coordination, and installation.
Available formats include indoor signs, outdoor signs, banners, vehicle graphics, digital displays, and architectural graphics. We can determine which formats fit the objective without adding unrelated products to the program.
We combine national resources with personalized local service. Healthcare administrators, facility managers, and property owners gain broad capabilities backed by people who take time to understand the project.
Our Healthcare Signage Project Process
A healthcare signage project begins by identifying communication needs, destinations, audiences, and placement requirements. We manage the work from start to finish, coordinating the services required for the confirmed scope.
Site Survey & Planning
Surveys document site conditions and proposed sign locations before design and installation decisions are finalized. Our team members perform accurate surveys and procure appropriate permits to support signage compliance, without promising approval by the reviewing authority.
Content & Graphic Design
Design development establishes a coordinated system before signs move into production and installation. We offer content development and graphic design services to organize messages, terminology, and visual elements around the facility’s objectives.
Project Coordination & Installation
Our project management keeps the confirmed stages connected as work progresses. We provide installation services and can coordinate shipping and storage when included in the project.
ADA Tactile Signs for Permanent Healthcare Spaces
Under the 2010 ADA Standards, signs identifying permanent rooms and spaces must include raised tactile characters and Grade 2 Braille. Grade 2 Braille uses contracted forms for certain words and letter combinations. In healthcare settings, these permanent identifiers commonly include patient rooms, restrooms, offices, and stairwells.
Philadelphia Sign Permitting for Healthcare Facilities
The Philadelphia Department of Licenses & Inspections requires a Zoning Permit for sign installation and regulates factors such as sign number, type, size, location, height, and illumination. Depending on the proposed installation, a permanent sign may require both a Building Permit and a Zoning Permit.
Illuminated signs also require an Electrical Permit under City requirements. Our scope includes survey and permitting support, but we don’t claim to perform electrical sign work. Properties listed on the Philadelphia Register of Historic Places require Historical Commission approval before the Department of Licenses & Inspections accepts a sign application.
Philadelphia states that building permit applications for signs with plans are processed within 20 business days. That published review period doesn’t promise approval or total project turnaround because requirements and outcomes depend on the application and property.
We provide survey and permitting services for hospitals and other properties subject to local signage laws and regulations. Our design, coordination, and installation capabilities can support the work from planning through completion.

When it comes to ensuring the quality of products, our consultants create a plan to deliver products according to your specific requirements. We examine the environment that the sign will be located in and determine the best match of products. Our visual consultants continuously monitor and verify project quality throughout the design and production process.
-
Depending on the materials, signs may need to be cleaned over time, especially outdoor signage. Our consultants can make specific recommendations for maintenance based on your sign. It’s important to avoid damage from harsh cleaners. Use only a soap and water mixture and avoid any cleaning product that contains ammonia.
-
The expected lifetime of a sign depends on whether you place the sign or graphic indoor or outdoor. We use sign materials for short-term applications and also provide materials for long-term projects. Whether your sign needs to withstand the elements in an outdoor setting or needs to be located indoor, our consultants will work with you to determine the best solution for your needs.

Yes, FASTSIGNS can print a photo on canvas. A canvas print is one that has an image printed directly onto the smooth or textured canvas. It is often stretched around a frame (called gallery wrapped) and hung on a wall in a hall, conference room or office. Canvas photo prints are lightweight and versatile.
We can also print photos on vinyl, paper, glass, plastic, wood, aluminum and other materials. Material selection is based on how and where you plan to use the photo print, the desired end usage size (to understand how big the printer needs to be and the final product weight if you want to hang it on a wall or move it around), the quality of your photo image (a low resolution photo will look fuzzy the bigger the image gets), etc.
