What You Need To Know
Healthcare delivery is evolving rapidly, and so is the design of the spaces that support it. From the rise of urgent care and outpatient facilities to the integration of mental health services and advanced digital infrastructure, today’s healthcare environments must be flexible, resilient, and patient-centered.
The Design & Construction Forum brings together leading architects, developers, healthcare executives, and operational leaders to explore how innovative design and construction strategies are shaping the future of care. Across a series of expert-led panels, participants will examine critical trends and challenges in the healthcare built environment. Participants will gain practical takeaways on aligning facility design with operational goals, patient experience, and regulatory requirements.
Agenda
| Flex & Modular Care Environments: Designing for Surge, Shift & Scalability |
| Beyond Brick & Mortar: Integrating Mental Health into the Built Environment |
| Urgent Care 2.0: Scaling, Designing & Building the Next-Gen Walk-In Facility |
