Healthcare Design magazine is accepting entries for the 2025 Nightingale Awards program, which honors innovative product designs that contribute to healing within healthcare environments.
The annual Nightingale Awards are presented in partnership with the 2025 Healthcare Design Conference + Expo, held Oct. 25-28, at the Kansas City Convention Center in Kansas City, Mo.
The Nightingale Awards are open to registered exhibitors at the 2025 HCD Conference + Expo. A jury of healthcare design professionals and facility managers will review entries digitally prior to visiting the exhibitors’ booths before the expo hall opens to attendees.
Entries are judged for their contribution or solution for clinical or operational outcomes; aesthetics and innovation; built environment solution, durability, functionality, and quality; industry certifications and standards; environmental sustainability; and list price.
Winners can receive Gold, Silver, Innovation, and Sustainability awards, with one product earning Best of Competition honors.
The deadline for entries is Oct. 10, 2025. For more information on the 2025 Nightingale Awards Competition, including the rules and entry form, go here.
Winners will be announced live at the 2025 HCD Conference + Expo. Products also will be featured in the January/February 2026 issue of Healthcare Design magazine.
