Healthcare Design Salutes The 2024 Rising Stars
Healthcare Design 2024 Rising Star winners
In the dynamic world of healthcare design, fresh perspectives and innovative ideas are key to driving the industry’s progress. That’s why Healthcare Design magazine is proud to present the annual Rising Star Awards program, now in its seventh year.
This prestigious program recognizes the outstanding achievements of professionals who have worked in healthcare design for fewer than 10 years and are already demonstrating a deep commitment to the industry.
This year, we received a record number of submissions, making the selection process more competitive than ever before.
After careful consideration by the editors, we are thrilled to announce our largest group of winners yet, with 12 exceptional individuals being honored as Rising Stars.
The 2024 Rising Stars will also be celebrated during the Healthcare Design Magazine Awards Luncheon at the HCD Conference + Expo, Oct. 5-8 in Indianapolis.
