Throughout the healthcare design sector, innovation and dedication shape the spaces where care and healing happen.

Each year, Healthcare Design magazine sets out to honor the visionaries behind these transformative environments through the HCD 10 awards.

This annual awards program celebrates the diverse talents that drive the industry forward in 10 categories of professional (including one organization). Together, their work and ideas are making a meaningful impact on healthcare design projects and initiatives.

Profiles of each of the winners are featured in Healthcare Design’s September issue as well as at the links below. Here, we share details from their nominations that made them stand out to the editors.

We’ll also celebrate the HCD 10 during an awards dinner at the annual HCD Forum, Sept. 4-6, in Vermont.
