Healthcare Design Leaders to Discuss Environment, Community at UM School of Architecture

A dynamic field at the threshold of significant change, healthcare is redefining its role in relation to community. From medical kiosks to urban health districts, the design of healthcare environments is responding to policy, science, technology and care-delivery innovations. At the same time, chronic diseases are among the leading causes of death in the U.S., and an abundance of research has shown relationships between chronic diseases and the built environment. This symposium brings together leaders in healthcare design to discuss designing hospitals and medical centers as healthy, livable urban districts; healthcare and community and building the new healthcare paradigm.

David Allison will open the colloquium with a presentation on the potential for hospitals and medical centers to become healthy urban districts. The CEO panel will offer perspectives on how each system is addressing healthcare delivery in relation to the larger context of community. The designer panel will discuss opportunities for a new paradigm in the building of healthcare facilities responsive to these changes and situated to provide a framework for the future. A Q&A will follow each panel. The colloquium provides an opportunity for education and networking to members of the architectural, business, healthcare and planning communities.

The colloquium is sponsored by the Miami Chapter of the AIA and the Miami Center for Architecture and Design. The colloquium provides 3 HSW Learning Units of continuing educational credit. NOTE: All AIA Members will be reported. All non-members will receive certificates.
