Successful healthcare design projects deliver spaces that do some serious heavy lifting, from supporting efficient and effective care delivery to engaging patients and providing a positive experience to uplifting both the organization and the community it serves. Yet, despite the tall order, each year we see submissions to the Healthcare Design Showcase manage to do just that, and much more.
We’re excited to share this, our 23rd year of the program that celebrates excellence in healthcare design.
All submissions to the Design Showcase were reviewed by our jury of industry professionals including architects, interior designers, owners, and consultants. The submissions were judged based on achievements in the categories of Innovation, Aesthetics, Experience, and Operational Performance.
The projects that received the highest scores in the first round of virtual jury review then advanced to the second round, a live, in-person judging event held in Omaha, Neb., this past spring. There, our jury assessed each project before determining those recognized with Honorable Mention and our highest honor, the Award of Merit ((see below for the full list of winners as well as jury members).
In our annual editorial coverage of the winning projects, you’ll find Q+As with the lead designers behind our Award of Merit winners. They share insight into how some of our jury’s favorite project elements came to be. You can also read profiles of the Honorable Mentions.
The Design Showcase offers a deep dive into the vast range of healthcare projects being delivered today, with tons of inspiration to inform the industry’s ongoing work.
Additionally, the Design Showcase winners will be celebrated during a magazine awards luncheon to be held at the 2023 HCD Conference + Expo (Nov. 4-7, New Orleans). Congratulations to all!
