What You Need To Know
The future of healthcare hinges on how we design and build the spaces that serve our most critical needs. As advancements in technology, equity, and justice continue to shape the healthcare landscape, the built environment must evolve to meet new demands with agility, innovation, and compassion.
Commercial Observer’s Design and Construction Healthcare Forum will convene leading voices across architecture, engineering, construction, healthcare, and government for a half-day event spotlighting the projects and partnerships shaping the future of healthcare infrastructure in New York and beyond. Through a series of dynamic panels, attendees will explore how AI is streamlining healthcare facility development, how equitable and community-centered design is transforming underserved neighborhoods, and how bold new thinking is reshaping facilities at the intersection of healthcare and justice.
From major institutional expansions like Memorial Sloan Kettering’s Kenneth C. Griffin Pavilion to pioneering community efforts in Far Rockaway and Bellevue Hospital, this forum will provide exclusive insights into the complex processes and inspiring strategies behind today’s most impactful healthcare construction projects.
