The Center for Health Design is now a Strategic Educational Collaborator and Supporting Organization for the PDC Summit | The International Summit & Exhibition on Health Facility Planning, Design & Construction.
This exciting new collaboration advances The Center’s future strategy and focus on expanding and enhancing engagement between the healthcare design and healthcare delivery communities. It will enable us to broaden and deepen those connections and create powerful designer-provider networks of change to achieve next-generation advances in care.
Beginning this year at the 2024 PDC Summit March 17 to 20 in San Diego, California, The Center will produce and present a 12-session educational track – Research, Design and Outcomes – and a pre-conference evidence-based design workshop. In 2025 the track will expand to 24 sessions.
