Healthcare design awards announced

Awards chronicle the industry's pursuit to define, design and create the ideal healing environment


The Modern Healthcare Design Awards were recently announced. The awards chronicle the industry's pursuit to define, design and create the ideal healing environment, according to an article on the Modern Healthcare website.

“The idea is that care of the patient goes beyond the acute episodes and it now involves social support and educational support in a nontraditional, holistic way,” James Bicak, vice president of facilities, engineering and hospitality services at Sinai Health System, a safety net provider in Chicago, said in the article.

“The best projects illustrate how they incorporated that into their thinking, planning and architecture. They all talked about engagement — not just patients and staff — but the whole family. The difference was in how they executed it.”

The winners are: 

• Award of Excellence: Chris O'Brien Lifehouse

• Award of Excellence: Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital

• Honorable Mention: Owensboro Health Regional Hospital

• Citation: University of Arizona Medical Center, Behavioral Health Pavilion and Crisis Response Center

• Citation: Bridgepoint Active Healthcare

• Citation: Nueva Expansión Hospital Observatorio
