Healthcare providers’ budgets are shrinking and are expected to shrink in the foreseeable future. Clients demand that every dollar spent is justified. Can research provide architects and design professionals with the justification necessary to prove design actually adds value to the bottom line?

Join us for these and other topics at the 2012 AIA Seattle Medical Design Forum and Project Tour, presented in part by the Architecture for Health Panel (AHP). The program features a building tour of the new tower at Multicare Good Samaritan Hospital in Puyallup, networking, interactive learning, panel debates & audience Q&A.  Architects and facility executives from around our region will learn how design today can anticipate the healthcare facilities of tomorrow. This popular annual forum features leaders in healthcare design, including keynote speaker Mardelle McCuskey Shepley FAIA, Associate Professor Texas A&M University School of Architecture.
