MISSION STATEMENT
Our annual Design Showcase issue serves as a
vital way Healthcare Design delivers on its goal
to serve the industry By Jennifer Kovacs Silvis
AS EDITOR OF Healthcare Design, I love all my children-or
issues, rather-equally. And while I could
never choose a favorite, I have to admit the annual
Design Showcase issue is tough to beat. Now in its
23rd year, the program itself was born from our
brand mission to provide insight, information, and
inspiration to the healthcare design industry to help
advance where this sector goes next.
Through the Design Showcase, we invite firms
and healthcare organizations to submit the new
work they're most proud of, from conceptual designs
to newly completed construction. Those submissions are rich with details
including background on project needs and drivers, challenges faced and
solutions implemented, as well as fl oor plans and lots and lots of images. Participants
also share design elements that respond to judging criteria of Innovation,
Aesthetics, Experience, and Operational Performance.
A jury of industry professionals vets and scores those submissions to first
confirm they're approved for publication. Those with the highest scores become
fi nalists in the awards component of the program and move on to an inperson
judging event where winners are chosen.
And then all of that is translated to this issue.
Starting on page 38, you'll find our editorial coverage of the Design Showcase,
including interviews with the design leads behind the Award of Meritwinning
projects and short profi les of the Honorable Mention winners, as well.
And then the Showcase itself begins on page 52, where submitting firms and
organizations publish their project narratives-again, with beautiful supporting
photography and renderings.
Within these pages, you'll not only find valuable details on the " why " and
" how " behind the projects submitted but inspiration for how you might use
what's shared to inform projects you're planning. On a much higher level, a
review of Showcase will off er a through line that ties the projects together and
offers an understanding of where healthcare design is today and where it's
heading. I promise you won't help but notice similarities-yes, in aesthetics, of
course-but in the types of facilities being delivered as well as the challenges
they're working to solve and ways they're serving their communities.
Now, before you dig in, allow me to recognize another champion of our mission:
Kristin D. Zeit. Many of you know Kristin as once editor, then publisher,
and lastly portfolio director here at Healthcare Design and Environments for
Aging. Kristin did so much over the past 11 years to serve this industry and this
team-and now she's off to start a new chapter in her career. Join me in wishing
her luck and thanking her for the value she's brought (and watch for her back in
these pages as contributing editor). 
