The HCD 10
For more than a decade, Healthcare Design magazine’s annual HCD 10 has been honoring professionals across 10 categories of nominees, shining a spotlight on the broad spectrum of stars in our industry.
Which interior designer is behind some of the most successful environments created in recent months? What building professional inspired a masterful project delivery? Which educator left a meaningful mark on the next generation of healthcare A/E/C pros?
HCD 10 nomination details
Healthcare Design magazine’s HCD 10 awards program honors professionals across 10 categories of nominees. All nominees for the HCD 10 should be individuals, except for Outstanding Organization, which recognizes firms or healthcare organizations that have made significant strides throughout the year in creating and designing built environments.
Nominations may be made by industry professionals and students. Specifically, we seek individuals who have made meaningful contributions to healthcare design projects/initiatives within the 12 months prior to the nomination period. Nominations should list these accomplishments and specific details.
We encourage you to nominate as many people as you like (feel free to nominate yourself!), but you must submit a separate form for each nomination. Please note that repeated nominations of the same individual will hold no more weight than single nominations.
Winners are celebrated in an issue of Healthcare Design and during an HCD 10 awards dinner held at the annual HCD Forum event.
2026 Awards Program
The winners of the 2025 HCD 10 are announced here and will be featured in HCD‘s June/July issue. And check back in early 2026 for the next HCD 10 awards program (nominations will open in early 2026).
For questions, please contact Editor-in-Chief Anne DiNardo at [email protected].
The editors of Healthcare Design will review all submissions and determine the winners.
