Ultimately, change may seem to move much
more quickly than it did when we were kids. And
in healthcare buildings today, these changes
for the better happen because of your talent
and passion. The 2016 Healthcare Design Expo
& Conference will be so much better if you're
there. 

W HEN I ASK my kids to take a different approach to an issue, they like to remind me:
"This isn't the 1980s anymore, Dad." Well,
yes. Parachute pants are gathering dust in the
closet, and many of our healthcare structures
have been reconfigured to accommodate patients' changing needs and expectations. For
example, the version of a hospital emergency
room that my mother worked in in the '80s is
very different from the one I visit every other
month (or so it seems) after one of my boys
pushes it a little too far playing sports.
Like the new redesigned Healthcare Design magazine, the Healthcare
Design Expo & Conference continues to evolve as the healthcare design
industry does. We're excited to bring our 2016 event to Houston, where
a whopping 20 major construction projects began in 2013 in the downtown area. And there's little doubt that these new projects include the
most up-to-date healthcare design elements, as well. Anchored by the
Texas Medical Center (the largest concentration of research and healthcare institutions in the world), Houston has an incredible healthcare
infrastructure.
HCD Expo attendees can experience some of this infrastructure by
choosing one of seven facility tours on Saturday, Nov. 12. New ideas await,
thanks to an epicenter of knowledge and best practices that incorporate
all facets of design. Serenity gardens that provide a sense of well-being
can be found alongside the latest designs that
integrate the best technology. Attendees will
ANCHORED BY THE
get a close-up view of these innovations at the
following facilities:
