| Highlight of the Week
|
Featuring Keynote Speakers Terri Wareham of Kaufman, Hall & Associates and Gladys Campbell, Northwest Organization of Nurse Executives
In the heated debates about the future of healthcare, where does design fit in? Where are healthcare trends, both politically and economically, headed, and how will they affect your practice? What changes in market demand, financing and service delivery should we anticipate? Can we improve the patient experience, despite those economic challenges? Join us for this and other topics at the annual AIA Seattle/Architecture for Health Panel Medical Design Forum and Building Tour. The program features a case study/building tour, networking, interactive learning, panel debates & audience Q&A.
Architects and facility executives from around our region will learn how design today can anticipate the healthcare facilities of tomorrow. This popular annual forum features leaders in healthcare design and is in collaboration with the Washington State Society of Healthcare Engineers (WSSHE) and the Washington State Department of Health's Construction Review Services.
