For six years, Healthcare Design has presented its Rising Star Awards, designed to celebrate healthcare design leaders who are still early in their careers (focused on this sector fewer than 10 years) but already making a big impact.
This year’s seven honorees all found their way to healthcare design through a variety of paths. And once that discovery was made, they decided they had found the right fit.
Drawn to the complexity of project challenges; the multidisciplinary approach to delivering solutions; and the ability to influence positive change in patients’ lives, communities, and the industry at large, our Rising Stars showcase a commitment to this field that’s truly making a difference today. They’ve set their sights on the future, too, working to tackle some of the industry’s most pressing issues.
The honorees are profiled in Healthcare Design’s October issue with extended profiles at the links below.
The 2023 Rising Stars will also be celebrated during the Healthcare Design Magazine Awards Luncheon held at the HCD Conference + Expo, Nov. 4-7, in New Orleans.
