The Center was formed in 1993 by a small cadre of pioneering healthcare and design professionals committed to advancing a singular idea – that design could be used to improve patient outcomes in healthcare environments. Today, the Center for Health Design is a far-reaching, international community leading the effort to improve the quality of healthcare facilities worldwide, as well as environments for healthy aging. The organization’s members and partners come from a broad spectrum of fields, including healthcare, elder care, architecture, interior design, construction, product design, product manufacturing, education and NGOs.
