HCD 10 nominations
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?
Nominations for the 2026 awards program have closed. The next HCD 10 nominations will open in early 2027.
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.
2026 HCD 10 Awards
Nominations for the 2026 awards program have closed. The editors of Healthcare Design will review all submissions, and winners will be celebrated in an issue of Healthcare Design and during an HCD 10 awards dinner held at the annual HCD Forum event.
The winners of the 2025 HCD 10 are announced here.
