Healthcare Design magazine recently named the winners of the second annual 'The HCD 10' competition. According to the magazine, the awards honor "an elite group of design and architecture professionals who represent the most exciting, inspirational, and influential healthcare work of the previous year."
Nominated by their peers, the winners were selected by the magazine editors from dozens of submissions in 10 categories.
James Shraiky, assistant professor, director of healthcare design initiatives, Arizona State University, was honored in the educator category.
Shraiky is the founder of the Healthcare Design Initiatives department at Arizona State University. An architect by training, Shraiky created a research-based concentration in healthcare and healing environments for a master’s design program, bringing together various disciplines and curriculums including architecture, design research, public health, and nursing, the article said.
He led students in a service project to Central Africa, where they studied the power of the built environment on healthcare for vulnerable populations.
In 2013, Shraiky’s Healing Environments Research Lab partnered with Native American Connections, a nonprofit group providing services to the Native American community around Phoenix.
