A long-established public hospital is envisioned anew offering opportunities for wellness strategies on a new campus site. How do you define an environment of inclusive healing that attracts citizens whether seeking hospital services or not? A planner, landscape architect, and visionary physician/CEO share 21st century wellness strategies for civic health.

Learning Outcomes:

Through a nationally-recognized, LEED Gold hospital case-study, learn how landscape, identity, art, and wellness attributes are interwoven to define a comprehensive, inclusive approach to community health.
From a public hospital's Chief Executive Officer and practicing Physician, learn the post-construction, positive metrics identified that have reshaped the vision of civic wellness.
Appreciate how a comprehensive view of wellness, including aspects of landscape, can positively inform public health institutions, their clients and care-givers.
Understand why a hospital would invite a landscape architecture firm to define design guidelines for future growth, including central campus expansion, existing satellite campus growth, and new community representation.
