With the long-term goal of accelerating positive changes and better outcomes in healthcare environments, our 5th annual interactive symposium will seek more efficient ways of broadening healthcare’s reach to all segments of the population.
During Purposeful 2022: EXPLORING THE EDGES – our interactive session addressed specific health problems facing an underserved community member and ponder the potential solutions outside of the centralized medical center to meet their specific needs.
Building on last year’s session, PURPOSEFUL 2023 will return to a longer form session with attendees participating in team charrettes to explore the flow and design of repurposed spaces to deliver healthcare services within a community.
Our event will feature an interactive group charrette, moderated panel discussion, in-person networking with a diverse panel of owner and clinical experts. Together, we will share ideas to help spark new solutions that move us forward in healthcare design and delivery.
Please join the AIA|LA Healthcare Committee for PURPOSEFUL 2023 on Wednesday August 16th, from 7:30am – 2:00pm.
