Since 1999, The Center's Board of Directors has awarded individuals or organizations who demonstrate exceptional ability to make change happen in healthcare facility design. The award winner is announced at the annual HEALTHCAREDESIGN conference in the fall. The deadline for this year's nominations is June 15. Submit your nominations now.
