The Center For Health Design

At The Center for Health Design, we’re focused on the connection between design and health. As a non-profit organization of passionate healthcare designers and professionals, we’re dedicated to improving the quality of healthcare through design of the built environment.

We started in 1993 as a team of forward thinkers with a vision for creating healthcare facilities that promote healthier environments for patients and staff. This vision became a movement.

Since then, we’ve seen changes to healthcare facilities ranging from daylighting and access to nature to single-bed patient rooms and thoughtful design details that can reduce falls and infections. These changes are not only becoming commonplace—they’re creating positive change.

Today, our community is diverse. Architects, interior designers, healthcare executives, healthcare professionals, researchers, product manufacturers, educators, and students are all committed to optimizing healthcare facilities. Healthcare design is changing for the better, and we only see this trend gaining momentum.
