I've met a lot of people in this industry over the past three years, talking to countless
architects, designers, providers, suppliers, and others about design best practices, the
direction of healthcare, and the future of our built environments. Between myself and
the three other editors on this brand, we've covered a lot of ground while gathering a
ton of insight from the people in the trenches.
But we always want more.
And to that end, I'm thrilled to announce our expanded Editorial Advisory Board. The
board itself is not new; until now it was a small group of wonderfully smart and prolific
experts in healthcare design with whom we'd connect regularly to take the pulse of the
industry. But the time has come to add some new faces (and a lot more, actually), as
the scope of healthcare design work-and the goals of the Healthcare Design brand-
evolve and grow.
Our new Editorial Advisory Board includes 30 high-level professionals, all representing different organizations. We have 15 architects practicing in national and regional
firms, five interior designers, five owners, and five others allied to the field (consultants,
construction and engineering leaders, and an evidence-based design trailblazer).
It was quite a task, coming up with the right balance of people and specialties.
Ultimately, we wanted firms and organizations of different sizes, from different parts
of the country, but all with a driving passion for healthcare. We sought out individuals
who could bring, and would willingly share, their keen insight into all levels of the design
process and the peculiarities of the healthcare field.
We fully intend to put them to work, turning to the board regularly for feedback,
project updates, and industry predictions. They're all game, and they're certainly up to
the task.
On pages 8 and 10, you can meet our new board members by name. And while
we're very excited to have them, that doesn't mean our editorial strategy of talking to
as many people as possible, gathering as many perspectives as possible, is going to
change at all. So don't be surprised to see us approaching you at our events, or when
that Ohio area code shows up on your line. HCD
