Barbara Huelat credits the diversity of her life experiences – as a designer, a healthcare strategist, a researcher, an author, a hospice volunteer, a dementia caregiver, and several intense and emotional events – for her unique perspective and lifelong commitment to making a difference in the world through design. For her passion, dedication and leadership as a prolific design practitioner of 40-plus years, a vocal advocate for better care, and an inspiration to others to use design to make a difference in the world, Barbara was recognized as The Center for Health Design’s 2023 Changemaker. 

Join Barbara to hear her storied career in healthcare interior design and her quest to pioneer the evolution of evidence-based design that promotes healing and wellness. Hear her perspectives on “what’s next” for healthcare and healthcare design and how the continued evolution and application of evidence-based design will usher in a new era of health and wellness.

Healing Design – Human Centric Solutions

Barbara Huelat is a designer of healthcare environments and has worked across the country and around the world, designing hospitals, clinics, senior living spaces, and other medical facilities. She is the published author of three books, including my most recent, "Taming the Chaos of Dementia."

Barbara is passionate about using design to improve the healthcare experience for patients, families, and staff and believes that that human-centric design can mitigate human misery and create more healing environments. In addition to her work as a designer, Barbara is a healthcare strategist, researcher, hospice volunteer, and dementia caregiver. 

Barbara believes that her personal experiences have given her a unique perspective on the healthcare system and the challenges that patients and families face. She is committed to using her voice to advocate for better care and to inspire others to use design to make a difference in the world.

 

 

Many attendees of The Center for Health Design’s webinars have inquired about IDCEC approval so they can earn ASID, IIDA, and IDS CEU’s. We have looked into this and unfortunately, the cost to upload courses to IDCEC is simply too high at this time. You can still earn credit for attending our webinars by requesting a verification certificate.  For further details about how to self-report CEUs to IDCEC, please CLICK HERE.  

 

**As of July 9, 2020, The Center requires a CEU management fee for AIA credits and verification certificates for all webinars and EBD Journal Clubs. Please contact Natalie Gonzalez, Project Manager, ngonzalez@healthdesign.org with any questions.
